First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... You're right, it is hard to for a car that hasn't been changed. I just got this 400 and thought is was more original than it is. I have a 68 Sprint that I am restoring, so have lots of extra parts (I throw nothing away-something may be needed later). I've been able to replace a lot of things missing on the 400, since both cars are black deluxe interiors. It was frustrating to just try to get the car inspected (in Texas it has to be inspected to be registered and titled). There were decades of wiring mistakes and stereo/security system butcherings!
Dan Subject: Re: [FGF] 4 speed Hurst shifter From: "Michael Staley" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 07:24:03 -0800 (PST) The aftermarket shifters usually have a bolt in stick, but there may be some that have the other kind. I'm not sure if these aftermarket Hurst competition plus shifters are still being made so it may be worth keeping. It is probably worth rebuilding--maybe not worth a complete restoration so please keeep it, or you could try e-bay if you wanted to sell it. I have one with stop bolts also that works perfectly, but I wanted a completely original one. It is hard to find a car that has not had something changed--shifter, voltage regulator, alternator, master cylinder, horn relay, wheels, etc. Michael --- On Thu, 1/7/10, Dan Dominick <[email protected]> wrote: > ......................................................................... > Michael, > > Looks like the old shifter I have is another aftermarket > (not a 3138, and does have stop bolts).
