Thanks for that info! I'm hoping I can get the dual gate shifter under my 66 console and just swap the gate plate on top. (67 consoles are hard to find! and pricey $$ wow.) :)

Question 67 TH350 Console in a 66 GTO?

I have a TH350 in my 66 GTO 389. Works great, but shifter is ugly. Has anyone tried putting a 67 auto console into a 66? Would it work? I could try for a Hurst his-n-hers while I'm at it. :confused:
