68 VS 70 console shift gates?
Will a 70-72 3 speed shift gate bolt into and work in place of the 2 speed in a 68 shifter. I hope I am calling the part the right name. I am refering to the cresent moon shaped piece that has the notches for PRNDSL. If they do not. Does anyone know an simple way to setup a netural-saftey switch onto the '70+ 3 speed shifter inside a 67-69 console. I have a 350th. Thanks.

Are you planning on using the whole 70-72 shifter, or just the quadrant on the two speed shifter? If the latter, you should be able to use the stock switch with no problem. If the newer shifter doesn't have the provision for attaching the switch link, you might need to fabricate some small tabs.

Like Joe I've never swapped one over but I'd assume they'd interchange. The only thing I'm thinking might screw this up is on the 67-69 shifter you push the ball down to shift gears while on the 70-72 you pull up on the T. So the parts might not be the same from 67-72 but I bet if you stay with 67-69 it'll work.

How was the later style N/S attched to the shifter/console? Was it the same style switch, or is there a method putting the switch on the tranny isself?
