The Competition Plus is/was different than the Super Shifter. The Super Shifter was a 'generic' unit and sat the housing in a straight line with the shift rods with the installation kit (rods, shift arms, etc.) being the only difference between various transmissions.
The Comp Plus is/was a 'bolt-in' to replace the original Muncie unit with installation kits and shifter body tailored to specific applications. The shift handle on the 68 unit is shown to be bent about 1" toward the driver half-way up the handle. Isn't this bend applicable to the original unit? Interior photos I have of 68s with a console appear to show a bend. Could it be you might have the wrong installation kit or shift tower? Maybe a 64-67 unit or a 69-72 unit? My 2005 Hurst .PDF shows a 68 with a Muncie is different from 64-67 and 69-72 units. Installation kit (373 3163) is the same as 64-67 due to the attachment arms but the shifter only (391 8014) is the same as the 69-72 Muncie units.
