69 charger floor shifter location?

[QuickBpBp]

Actually looking at the two it looks like the bend for the bbody is further down towards the console

Just an FYI. There is no DIFFERENCE between an A-Body shifter or a B-body shifter. It's just whether yours is "un-bent" or has the bend.... Only difference in an earlier shifter is the Chrome handle instead of a wood ball.

Sorry I couldn't reply, I had too many posts. The photo on the top with black interior is the shifter in the 69 charger that I think is suspect, the shifter in the bottom photo with blue floor is my 69 Dart which I know is correct. Does the Charger have the wrong handle?

I used to own a 70 Sport Satellite and a 69 Charger.
Both had factory floor shift autos with shift handles just the one in the pic I posted.

Do you remember the shifter being that close to the dashboard

This is what you are looking for,

Console shifter and bracket location

Anyone have some measurements on where the shifter and brackets go for an automatic center console ('67 Charger- I think any 66-70 B-body)? I have everything to convert to a floor shift (from column), but I'm a little uncertain about the location of the brackets. If all else fails, I'll just...

Good morning, I'm working on a 69 charger that was butchered by previous so-called restorer. It was previously a column shift car converted to a floor shift. When you put the shifter in park your knuckles hit the dashboard. Can anybody tell me an approximate distance from the dashboard to the shifter when it's in park? Because the geometry down at the transmission is off now. If anybody has photos of a car without the carpet that would be great too. Thank you very much. Thanks, Mike

You guys are awesome, thanks for the pics. Did someone mention that the link between the shifter handle and the vertical shaft is different between the a body and b body?

 

[Mike meeks]

Thank you very much for the pics. Does anybody with a 69 charger have the measurement from the knob to the ashtray button when the shifter is in park? Also, from a previous installation diagram I noticed that the lever at the transmission has a bend in it versus some that are straight. This also could affect things. Does anybody know what the correct lever is at the transmission? Is it straight or does it have a dog leg?

Looks like about 2 and 5/8"

Joe, you're awesome! Thank you very much. The shifter is Way Forward

Would anybody happen to have a complete shifter for this 69 charger automatic shifter?

I might have an extra one. I'll take a look when I get home today.

Great thanks

Great thanks

I have this one here. The worst part about it is the chrome plating is flaked off of the plastic top button. Otherwise it's in pretty good shape.

Any difference between a body and b body? How much?

Does it have the ledge coming off the back of it for the console to screw in?
