Good evening dear members.
At the moment I´m trying to figure out some details about how to mount my 833 transmission in my Dodge Charger 1973. Due to the fact I live in Germany, sometimes its not so easy to find answers, so I hope you guys can held me.

I have two questions.
1. where do I have to mount the shifter? Like you can see on the pictures, I have a Hurst Shifter. The car is a 1973 Dodge Charger with bucket seats. I mailed with the very helpful guys from brewers and they sendend me a lot of stuff I´m supposed to need for the swap to manual transmission.
But where do I have to mount the Shifter?
Like you can see on the pictures, I marked the two positions (1 and 2). Using the rods brewer recommended me, it should be position 2.
But when I search in the internet I always find that picture saying b-bodys need to position the shifter on position 1.
Am I wrong, that the Dodge Charge is a b-body?
Are the pictures I found on the internet wrong?
Is the position depending on the model-year?

Thank you.
Axel

And here the 2. question.
Same car. Same transmission. (833, 1973 Dodge Charger, bucket seats.)
Is the transmission mount I have here correct? It seems to be from a 71´Charger.
How does the mount that brewers recommended me fit on that mount and how does all this mount to my transmission?
I know, these questions may be stupid, but I really couldn´t find helpful informations until now.
Pictures how to put everything together would be great.

Thank you all
Axel

Shifter mounts to the furthest most mounting point on the trans, #1 on your pic.

The transmission mount is bolted to the cross member with 1 long bolt going thru the poly. The 2 holes on top of the mount are bolted to the trans.
 
Bucket seat console and bucket seat no console and no arm rest cars used the "E body" location and a short shifter.

Bench seat and bucket seat arm rest cars used the "B body" location, and a long shifter.

There are brackets that go between the shifter and the trans mounts.
Those and the shift rods are different for each application.
 
...and also different trans tunnel hump sheet metal.
