I'm converting my 72 from auto column shift to floor shift console. Is the neutral safety/ steering & shift lock linkage the same set-up as with column shift? It seems instead of the linkage moving trans shift arm (with column shift), the linkage now it just along for the ride to move collar in column to release steering lock, and give neutral safety and back up switching (with floor shift). So with some header installations, removing linkage is required, thus removing the shift-lock and making you manually turn collar to get your back-up lights to come on.
