Okay, man. Cool. Sorry I got all worked up about it, or if I wrote some offensive stuff.
Glad we're all on the same page now.
A short throw should go in no problem to a 79, like the Mr. Cs pic from nopi.. Maybe the guy was thinking of swapping whole trannies, or using a short throw from a later model..

 

maybe... i wouldnt mind having a sts.. that throw in the SA is like a ****** ford ranger...

 

I'm hungry

 

lol what the hell is that about.. lol

 

Jorx: do you have a short/short throw shifter for the '79?

 

No, but if someone could send me a tailshaft of a sa trans and a shifter I can make jigs to start producing them and give them a free one.

If you have or can get an extra sa shifter I strongly advise simply shortening the top of the rod as per above instructions. Try it, you'll like it.

 

I cant wait to get mine! Let me now when it goes out.

Thanks, Ed

 

Would we get all of our stuff back?...ie., no parts destroyed to make said jig?

 

I never saw this post before, yes parts would mainly be used for measurments. dosen't really have to be in working order when i get it.

Thanks\

Well, time for me to be an idiot. =P

This next picture, the guy driving doesn't seem to worried about his shifter length...
