Thanks Bob..........., I'll contact Crash.

Frankly, I'am surprised that no one from the Camaro Research Group (CRG) has replyed.

Feel free to add knowledgable replys Gents and thanks for any good info.

I've heard of at least 2 67's with Saginaw transmission that had the MUNCIE stamped handles. I can't remember if there have been any original cars that were the other way around. It sounds like you found one. I suspect that the assembly line workers just grabbed what was available. In the 67 AM there is only one part number. That might have caused confusion. In the 68 AM there are two part numbers; basically one for Saginaw and one for Muncie.

I have several 4-speed shifters with all 4 handle combos; with/without MUNCIE and with/without T. I don't know what the T is for either.

I also have complete Saginaw 3-speed & 4-speed and Muncie SB and BB shifters for reference. I'm only missing the BB stabilizer rod.

I'm one of the "CRG Guys". I have an article on the shifters but it's been in review for some time. I really need to push it through and get it done.

Yeah - I might have found one. I'am going to let the owner decide if he wants to retain the plain handle or search for a Muncie. That way HE can argue with the judges as tu whether its 'correct'. Opss...there goes that much over used 'C' word again,

Martin - that BB stablizer rod is probibly the hardest piece to find. Haven't seen one at a swap meet in years.

Here are the pics of the shifter in my 67 z/28. It doesnt appear to have ever been out of the car, but who knows. This car was drag raced and it is very possible it could have been changed out. Take a look and tell me what you think. I couldnt find any stampings.
