Hullo Bill,
Dale's advise on the B&M shifter is the way to go. With the shifter you get
exact instructions on how and where to place the shifter and exactly where
to cut the hole for the cable. B&M also make provision for other makes such
as AMC and supplies all the little brackets, bolts and nuts and good
diagrams.
Guess B&M owes me for the advertising out of South Africa!

Gentlemen and Ladies
Before I get those “check the forum section”, or the “check your factory
assembly book” replies. No, I haven”t done either yet. I'm going to ask for
the “been there done that” crowd! And links to the first option mentioned .
Background: 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu ( bench seat replaced with 99
Grand Am electric bucket seats ), with a 283 2 barrel replaced with a 1984
305 topped off with an Edlebrock Torker aluminum intake manifold and a
Rochester 4 barrel. Originally a powerglide, I'm now running a 700R4
overdrive (non electric) column shifted. I have a spare steering column I've
removed the shifter from and filled the hole. I have an automatic
transmission console, shifter and shift cable. Yes, you've guessed it, while
gutted, I want to convert it to a floor shifted automatic with the console.
What I really hope to get are tips and tricks for this project, that and
maybe a template for cutting the hole for my shifter cable. I figure this is
a great winter project(heated garage). I wanted to get it done before
installing sound deadener , carpet seats, etc.
.
As I was saying, I'm getting ready to “gut” the cabin of the car, so any and
all help would be greatly appreciated!
