they made a 3 speed version of the lightning rods. those will work on any TH 350 or TH400 car. if you installed a 200 4R you would have to use a set from an 83 or 84 Hurst Olds because they were 4 speeds. they are to wide to be able to adapt them to an original 70 to 72 console.

Old thread, but curious if the OP ever installed a set? The boy has decided, after paying for non-oxegenated premium gas during the summer, that he wants to upgrade to a TH200R4. He already expressed an interest in going with buckets and a console anyway so a set from a 83-84 Hurst/Olds with the matching console would be an awesome addition. Update??

I would just do a regular console to keep the car looking correct and use the Shift Works 4 speed adapter kit for a factory 3 speed floor shifter:

Obviously not as wild looking as the Lightning Rods, but infinitely easier to install.

Well intended post I am sure but Vertical Gate shifters have nothing to do with this discussion on Lightning Rod shifters.....totally different animal.
