help with 833 hurst shifter in 72 scamp

The 1/2 and 3/4 rods go above the cross member and the reverse is bent so that it goes under and comes back up to the reverse lever. If your linkage does not clear then it's not A-body linkage or maybe it's not an A-body shifter.

FWIW, whether the car is an A, B or E body the shifter linkage is routed the same, the linkage is just different lengths and bent differently. This is the reason that compared to an automatic car there is a big extension on the tunnel intruding into the drivers side floor.
