The 80694 is a 'drop in' installation on 70-81 Firebird, T/A consoles. We installed one on my son's 69 Bird with a little creative engineering; had to remove the factory shifter bezel and use the one that comes with the B&M shifter. Easy enough to go back to stock if need be. Also, I think the B&M comes with an indicator plate and a feature for the extra detent to accommodate overdrive transmissions like the 200-4r.

Guys, not sure how to attach a pic to my post but I will give it a try. If that doesn't work you can pm me your e-mail address and I can send one that way. It may be an hour or so before I can get to it.

It has been several years since the install and I don't remember all the details but I know we didn't have to cut the console. I am sorry I didn't take a few pictures while we were doing the work. If I can find the time I will try to get a pic with the bezel/boot assembly out of the way; might be of some help.

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.
