Hurst shifter identification help

burbygurby · Monday at 2:11 PM

I just rebuilt my shifter (4 speed hurst) and i am fairly confident from what I could find on the internet that it is not the original on that came in the car mostly because the shift arms are not the same as what I can see from pictures, I was wondering if anyone could help me i dentify it so that I can make sure i placed them in the right order and orientation.

This was supposedly an original Hurst shifter from a 1971 mustang

My shifter stick is different which I know is replaceable im just saying but also the linkages are the threaded type at the end they just have a long hole section where you tighten a bolt on the correct alignment and the bottom of the shift arms come out a lot further than in your pictures.

At least the plate on the toploader, to mount it, should have a Fomoco Part No on it, find attached a few pics from mine, came original from a 71 BOSS.

Not sure, but the Shifter lever should be straight?!

The welded handle indicates that's an aftermarket Hurst unit. Factory handles were a plug-in style.

The shifter body is a factory 70-73 mechanism, but the stop bolt on the front was added. This unit was used in the Mustang/Cougar and a very similar unit in the Torino/Montego. Pic below is a factory 71 setup, the blue paint is a factory ID paint daub. 70-71 have the flat handle, 72-73 have a round.
