Are you talking the 65 a-body with the floor shifter and cable controlled trans??? It just occurred to me when I reread your post... I'm not sure, I don't have a 65 with a floor shifter... That was a one year only option...
Nope, 71 Duster 440/727 Hurst Promatic 2 shifter. just put the seats in and as I'm setting up the shifter want to make sure I get the cable exiting the car correctly. I'm thinking it should exit in front of the crossmember.
