Muncie shifter handle 70 chevelle

[P.J.]

Ok finally got home and on my own computer, so I will ask for your opinion again about this shifter handle. The assembly manual shows that shifter handle (2)in the attachment shows a number 3973864 this number is stamped on the bottom of the shifter handle. The note beside the part number says M20 M21 M22 W/Bucket seats.Does this note mean
that all bucket seat chevelles came with this shifter handle unless you ordered a council.Then GM would of instaled the council shifter 3973865 leaver which has no bend?
Thanks for your opinion.
for some reason I cant load the page from the assembly manual.
