Hey Kurt, I'm definitely not questioning your knowledge, but what is this shifter all about? (I also saw an "original" shifter like this on eBay as well.)
Just has the "H"

Here's the original

So, if our tally is correct it looks like this:
1965: "442" and "Hurst" on the arm
1966: ?
1967-69: "442" and "H" on the arm (with the H lower on the arm than the 442)
1970-72: just an "H" on the arm
Is this correct?
Apparently here's a '67 Hurst shifter.

I was under the impression that the shifters with only the "H" were non-442 applications in '70-'73 as it was in previous years, but I see that just didn't register with me that they dropped the 442 off the handle in 1970.

In '65, the 4-speeds were still Muncie shifters and had only the "442" on handle.
In '66-'69, all 442s (all 3 and 4 speeds) had "442" and the "H" at the bottom, and all non-442s (all 3 and 4 speeds) had just the "H" at the bottom.
Additionally, '66s were square at the top and not tapered.

442 shifter
My 69 442 has a Hurst shifter, but it has the straight handle instead of the curve. It has Hurst on the shifter, but obviously not the 442 and the H. Would it be possible to find the correct shifter handle and bolt it into my shifter?
I'm pretty sure the transmission is original, so somewhere along the way, the shifter got switched out. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

bringing back a 6 month old post, i know... would some of you factory 4-speed guys mind posting a few photos of your 4-speed console? i have a TH400 in my '71 and am saving my pennies for a Tremec 5-speed. i'm curious if i can get the Tremec shifter to work with my current console or if i'll have to change some things... how similar is the automatic center console to the 4-speed center console?

no worries, purists... it's not an all-original #'s matching car!

For 1970-72 they are the same. The manual trans consoles use an adapter that bolts on top and mounts the shifter boot. The console has score lines on the underside where it needs to be cut out to turn the AT console into an MT console. The MT adapters are available as repros.

Here's what the 4 speed console looks like together. You'll need to cut or replace your woodgrain insert.

By the way, my car had a Richmond manual trans in it weeks before I bought it in 2002 and it worked with the stock console (not so much with the factory floor hump setup though... ) It's back to an M20 now though.

more on Tremec 5-speed conversions: i understand that Popular Hot Rodding is doing a magazine piece on a 1965 Olds Cutlass... the PHR Project Car is getting a Tremec manual transmission next. look for the feature sometime this summer.
