I guess you’re asking about my Olds....not an f85, but a Cutlass S model. The engine is a 1969 350 w/ #5 heads and 255 Q-Jet. Trans is a Jerico and run 4.88 in a 12 bolt with Strange axles and spool. Thanks for the interest.

DW31S, I usually rebuilt my own shifters because I was working full, but I retired in May so I could take on some extra work...
E-mail me some time and we can talk... [email protected] Thanks... Crash |

I have used a coupler nut and short 1/4 x 20 thread stud to extend the trigger shaft. I also have heated and bent the reverse lever to clear a bench seat. I have used the Mr. Gasket vertical gate since the 1970s, street and strip. It is my favorite shifter. I tried the Hurst Ram Rod first in the early/mid 70s but hated it. It tended to hang up in a gear or miss the shift, and yes I adjusted the rods carefully. In contrast the Mr. Gasket is flawless. After they bought Hurst in the 1980s, the continued selling their vertical gate as the Hurst V-Gate 2.

It hurt to cut this. For about 5 minutes until I rowed it through the gears...
The shifter seems like it will rattle around a bit but I don’t care. The only thing I’m confused about is I paid through the nose (double what I paid for the shifter itself!) for the correct boot but I have NO idea how to make it conform to the trans tunnel. Anyone have a pic of the shifter with correct boot? |

Looks like a 70-72 Chevelle....but the hole looks a lot like the one on my Ol' B body Mopar.
When they say hack a hole for a Verti-Gate.....they ain't kidding. BIG Last edited by 68l30; 04-19-2018 at 04:31 PM. |

This is my ‘69 that I’ve been trying to finish up for 15 years now. I’m going with a Day 3 type look with the V-gate, Gold Moroso valve covers, Lakewood ladder bars and the Centerline Auto-Drags.
