Mark, I have an article on the Ram Rod and from what I understand it was made years before but as you stated, it wasn't readily available until later on.

Below is a picture of my Ram Rod and boot.

Here are some pictures of the September Hot Rod magazine. It does have the flat reverse handle that mr.4speed mentions.

It states &quot;The most recent new offering from Hurst Performance isn't exactly new to them. The in-line-pattern Ram Rod shifter for drag racers hit the dealers' stands in June of this year, but the first prototype was fashioned by George Hurst in 1959. That '59 model lay dormant for nearly a dozen years until the gang in Warminster Pa, decided to give the idea over for that relatively small segment of the shifter market who operate their four-speeds only over a sanctioned drag-strip.&quot;

It talks about &quot;No gates to pass or press across&quot; which I'm thinking they are comparing it to the V-Gate.

i have a hurst catalog from 74 and it shows the round stick.
plus it seems that one out of every twenty or so on ebay has
the flat stick so leeds me to believe less available means earlier.

markjohnson

Check out the April 1971 Hot Rod for the scoop on the Mr. Gasket race shifter. There was a mad rush between the two companies to be the first to market a straight line shifter.

Hemicolt
01-02-2013, 08:17 PM
I'm just guessing here, but I would think the round stick was probably more cost effective, since it was welded onto the plate.

I disagree on this one. Hurst made better shifters by far over Mr Gasket but the Mr. Gasket Vertical Gate was noted in the day to be THE shifter to have. For every Hurst ram Rod sold, Mr Gasket sold 500 Vertical Gates-don't know the exact # but just making a point here.

I think it was Super Stock mag who did a comparison and it was hands down Mr. Gasket and also spoke with some credible speed shop owners from the day over the years and the return customer comments for the Vertical Gate style shifters was Mr Gasket.

Again this is personal preference.

markjohnson
01-11-2013, 03:12 AM
I gotta agree. I think the Mr. Gasket straight-line shifter was the superior of the two.

69 Post Sedan
01-11-2013, 07:29 PM
I have had two guys that rebuild shifters tell me that they prefer the Ram Rod over the V-Gate because the V-Gate would get hung up in between the gates. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

I've never used either one but may possibly put my Ram Rod in someday.

Kurt

Hemicolt
01-11-2013, 07:43 PM
The V-gate is sloppy feeling, the Ram Rod is smoother and tighter. I think the reason is because of the simple design using less parts.


High sell numbers doesn't always mean better product. Even though I love the Vega, we all know the flaws that line carried. 1,966,157 total were sold.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mr.4speed</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yes but in my opinion the hurst ram rod is a far superior shifter</div></div> +1 for sure! It has the distinct ergonomic advantage of always having the trigger the same distance from the T-handle, no matter which gear you're in.

I always figured the round reverse stick was the early one because it was welded and the flat stick was riveted, which seems like it would be cheaper to produce. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif

Think motorcycle shifter..1 lever upshifts by pulling backon it using a rotary index on the side cover. The other lever downshifts and the short lever with the knob works reverse.

Winters was originally established in 1958 in York Pennsylvania i was told this design was based originally in the early 70s and changed in 1980s to something similar to what they offer today the dead giveaway is the rectangular price on either side of the top plate any way this one came out of my buddies 1966 hemi belvedere II look up a hemi worth waiting for in hemmings muscle he is the original owner and bought it back for the guy in the article who restored it but he put back his b&amp;m 60s so i got the winters

A guy I met at Dover AFB in 75 had a Mr. Gasket unit in his 68 Z28. I was curious how it worked so he let me drive the car. First time for this shifter but not for a 4 speed. Going into 2nd I wasn't paying attention to where my middle finger was and I yanked so hard I caught my finger nail on the support loop for that front handle rod and ripped my nail completely off. I like the shifter but I've been gun shy since then. Really messy. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else or was it just a flook(sp). Been looking to buy one for my son when he gets his project going.

Hey Jeff ...How are you doing ? That shifter was put in after we sold the car . We had modified and installed a shifter from a 1966 Grand Prix . It had the detents ground to make it work with the reverse pattern valve body .Neutral,1 and 2 were on the same level then the button had to be depressed for 3rd and also reverse and park.It was a $10 shifter that always worked flawlessly.I think the only aftermarket shifter available back then was a dualgate and it didnt like the reverse pattern.

Nice, I happen to have ( somewhere) the same exact shifter for a three speed that's never been out of the box.

Nova boy, Last I checked 1966-67 Chevy II was still available from Hurst, if not I think I have a couple...

Marlin, I'm pretty sure I have a 1969-70 Nova W/ console, BB or SB ???

Astock, Do you need OEM or aftermarket ???

Heres some more pictures of the odds and ends...

Thanks... Crash

Aftermarket. I think it would be the same shifter (no console) for 442, Chevelle, Nova, GS, ect... Just figured if you had an nos one from the Jefferson meet.

Just dug out some Hurst and Mr Gasket shifters I've had for a Loooooooooong time, put away in the attic.
I'd like to get an idea what these are worth, and the applications.

This first one I know will fit a Muncie as I checked the bolt up pattern against one.
It is the early version with the flat reverse handle. I have the 3 large spacers that go between the shifter and trans mounting area.

Not sure what this one will bolt up to, but I know it is the later version with the round reverse handle
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/09/full-3463-16601-dscf6924.jpg

This Mr Gasket piece I think may have been on a Ford Toploader that I had in a 65 Mustang back in the 70's.

I found a Ford Toploader mounting bracket for the Hurst Ramrod, and it is identical to the mount plate in the middle picture.

I was watching this eBay auction for a Ram Rod Decal. Unfortunately they ended it early....we all know why! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif

Does anyone have one of these or know how I can get one made?

Thanks, Kurt

Kurt, those pop up on eBay every once in a while. I think the guy reproduces them, but I didn't look into it much.

I believe the one pictured above is the original one. At some point, Hurst must have changed it to the &quot;Hurst Ram 4&quot;. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif
