Which shifter?
I am building a 63 Tempest strip/street car and am in the process of converting the drive train to a V8 and a turbo 350/400. The car has a bench seat. The shifter will be on the floor, Which shifter should I go with? I have zero experience with aftermarket auto shifters.
thanks

Hey neighbor!
Glad to see there is another Pontiyacker in the area. I'm just a few miles north of you. I'm using a B&M Megashifer and have been very happy with it. It can be used with a reverse valve body, locks out reverse, and allows you to "ratchet" throught the gears so you can't miss a shift. They sell the Megashifter in a universal model that will install on the floor with little effort.Check out http://bmracing.com for the whole selection. Steve |

I run a Hurst V-Matic 2. You can use it like a regular shifter, or when in neutral, push it down and enter the ratchet action mode. Nearly all other aftermarket shifters are full-time ratchet shifters. It also has a reverse lockout. Very high quality piece and well worth every penny. I've tried nearly all the aftermarket auto shifters out there. There was a reason why I decided on the Hurst.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
