It always surprised me that they resorted to literally torching a hole in the tunnel for the 4-speeds in 69. You would think they would have had that figured out. In fact, I'm pretty sure the 67's used the same hole that the automatic console shifter mounts in.
Things like that make you wonder why. I have also wondered why they didn't just install the big block style heater cores in all the non-AC cars, rather than have a completely different part and associated cover for small block / 6 cyl versus big block cars. I guess it had to do to the fact that the big block did not become available until later in the 67 MY run.
