I wish our 64 had a console. It just looks better. But it was never built that way so we are keeping it original. But they look great, so much more useful than the console in my 65 Malibu SS which...

When we restored the 64 we got a new tank, I think it was a Spectra. It fit great but didn't come with a filler neck. I had to transfer the filler neck from my original.

The OEM linkage is crap. Those slip fit fittings on the 1-2 and 3-4 rods WILL slip at some point. The Hurst replacement rods (like standard Comp/+ rods) are the way to go.

Sitting too far in pretty much is determined by the rubber bumper stops. You just need the right one I'd think.
