Dear PY,

On page 44 you list Shift Knobs for 70-74 as 3sp and 4sp Lucite round knobs. Weren't the round Lucite knobs only for the years 67-69? I believe that 67 was the only year that offered white Lucite and then 68/69 were all black. 1970 shows that the style changed and that the round knobs were disc.

Let me know if I am wrong.

There was definitely a 3 speed walnut knob for at least 1969 and 4 speed walnut knob for at least 1969 and 1970. We have an original that we considered producing. I believe the 3 speed knobs we list in our catalog are the black and white knobs which were rare but aviailable. The 4 speed walnut knobs for 1969 and 1970 are available as well.

The listing of the black knobs in the PY catalog are the ones that I think are in question. They are listed for the years 70-74 and are black Lucite not walnut. Everywhere I look they are 67-69 from GM (not 70-74).

When you said 'lucite' it threw me off. We normally only use the term lucite for the clear plastic. The 3 speed black knobs were made available just because we've had requests for them. The 4 speed knobs were bigger by 1970 so we made the 3 speed big as well. Not sure if they are a correct reproduction.

I am in pursuit of a correct 3spd 69 black round knob if it is available.

If you know what is the diameter of the knobs that are listed for 70-74?

Appreciate the help Chris and if it counts I placed an order with PY

We have

RPI674A 2"
RPI674B 2 1/8"

I'm not sure if either are the exact diameter. I do know that the thread hole is universal and has an insert so you can change thread patterns. Once installed, they look pretty original.

Thank you.

Not sure if this info is in the catalog but it sure would help.
