Thanks!  Yeah you can hold it in gear as long as you want to just like a regular shifter.  Only thing I forgot to mention which could be important to you, is that the gear indicator on the right does not work anymore.  I didn't try to see if there was a way to get them to work together, just figured I didn't need it.  I took it all out and I'm thinking of a way to cover up the space using carbon fiber looking stuff or making a plate with a vette emblem, just going for something different.  The adapter plate was easy to make.  I just picked up a piece of steel plate, I think it was about 2" (get it at least the width of the base of the shifter) and either 1/8" or 3/16" thick.  Just remember there is a console support piece that will have to be trimmed.  The Quarter Stick is a little bigger, it needed more space to get under the support piece and more room for the cable to move freely.  I trimmed it using a Dremel with a cutting wheel attachment.  I've also seen a '77 with a Hurst Pistol Grip.  Didn't require as much trimming because the base was smaller.  Also, take your time in positioning the shifter, just make sure you don't interfere with anything through all the gears before you have your location set.  You'll want to put the console back on so you can test that it doesn't hit that in any place from Park back to 1st also before you mount it.  VTHokie77Vette2007-01-13 08:21:49
