Shifter Cable for hurst shifter installation

Look how the cable wants to go and where it points right now.
The bracket needs to be straight up and down.
The bracket you have there now is for GM and Ford where the linkages are on the far outside of the trans.

I have that exact shifter and it came with all the brackets, one like yours and one straight up.
You should be able to bend that one straight up and have it work fine.

As Mile High's pic shows, you need this and the little lock nut not shown, but you can get that at Ace Hardware, Home depot or Tractor Supply.

It has the spacers that clear the lip on the pan, even so the bracket isn't a right angle so it does stick out some as shown in the 1st picture.
