duster pistol grip

That bracket is for the B body cars ONLY. It will NOT work on an A body. It's for the B body bench seat cars, and uses the forward pad on a B/E body dual shifter pad transmission. The bucket seat B/E bodies used the rear shifter location. On an A body 833 that bracket would stick up through the floor!

The 71b body pistol grip works with both bench seat and bucket seat a body cars. You can use an E body console pistol grip in a bucket seat A body if the 71b non console grip is too high for you, but I found the E body pistol grip too short for my tastes even with buckets.

Yes, I understand that bracket is ONLY for B Bodies, and I'm not saying anyone should try to use it on an A. What I tried to point out, is that in addition to raising and moving the shifter rearward, that bracket ALSO tilts it back, so that the shifter is completely upright when in neutral. If you install the 71-4 Bench shifter without that bracket, it is tilted forward, as seen in all the pics people have posted on this thread.
To use that shifter in an A body, and have it oriented as it should be, one would have to fabricate some sort of adapter that would tilt it back about 20 degrees.
