I am desperately looking for the correct hole location for the Hurst shifter in a 69. Any help is appreciated.

Dan,
Since no one has come forward with info, I give you my best suggestion.
When I converted my 68 'Bird to a 4 speed, I assembled the tranny/bellhousing/engine combo sans the crossmember. I had the car up in the air (on jackstands). I used a floor jack to move the rear of the tranny up until it made contact with the floor. I cut a hole in the floor for the stick stub to poke through and went about trimming it (I bolted the stick to the stub and moved it through it's range of motion). I allowed a little extra room for the motor to torque on the passenger side.
If this won't suit your needs, see if you can find a Camaro (more common with manual trannies) and trace the location. My buddy and I did this on his Camaro- worked great.
Good luck-
