I know there are lines inside that show where to cut for different shifters but which lines are for a dual gate? Any pictures or page number to pictures in the manual would be great. Also what screws do I use to mount the top plate? Thank in advance.

 

I don't remember there being different lines when I did mine back in 1990. Maybe there are and I just got lucky, but that doesn't sound like what typically happens to me.

 

I haven't pulled my console and checked yet but I assume there are lines for the 4 speed adapter as well as the dual gate.

Also is it pretty obvious where the shifter brackets mount to the floor pan? I know when I installed the standard console shifter there were dimples in the floor pan where the shifter mounted

 

There are markings for the shifter and there are clues where to cut for the four speed. Search past posts and you should find what you need.

You can go to Assembly Manuals for the 1970 Olds A body and it has the cut lines.

I am not a member there. I do have the assembly manual though so. I guess I will dig it out and thumb through it to find the info I need. Any chance you know the page number? Thanks again.

 

It is 1-1 page 138 in the 1970 manual.

 

Thanks for the page number. I can't locate my assembley manual right now but I did find what I needed here:

I cut the console tonight and will finish up the install in the morning. I need to get some screws for the top plate.
