67-68 Camaro 4-sp Shifter

Is there a difference between the console and no-console Muncie shifter for 67-68?

Appreciate the help, Tony

I do not believe their is a difference. The only difference that I am aware of is that the hi-po cars had the muncie script on the shift handle where as the base cars did not.

Thanks, that is what I had thought.

Yep, they are the same. Saginaw 4-speed cars got the one with no Muncie stamping in the handle.

Thanks guys. I bought an aftermarket shifter marked '67-68 Camaro w/o console' so I wanted to check why the distinction was made.

There is a big difference in AFTER MARKET shifters when it comes to console and no console. What type/brand shifter did you get?

It's a P&G shifter from 1968. "Looks" like it will fit if I remove the slider from the shift plate.

The only other difference other than BB and SB in the shift rods is the shift boot which is much much taller than the console versions.

Looks like my post was wiped out yesterday. Has anyone seen a P&G shifter? Pretty cool mechanism - inline shifting like a Vertigate, but much more compact and requires no floor mods. From what I have learned the company manufactured a valve lashing tool in the 60s, branched out into performance shifters in the late 60s, and was bought out by the federal government around 1970 to do engineering work for the military. This ended their involvement in the performance market. Cool stuff. This shifter is still NOS:

I bought another one of these shifters for my 427 Chevelle to look period correct. Anyone out there ever run a P&G shifter?

Thanks Sam, I found a Grumpy Jenkins P&G ad on Ebay. These shifters are built like tanks, just unbelievable.
