Default Re: '66 Dodge D-Dart at Mecum auction

Mopar Steve and Ronnie,
Your both right.
In later production1968 cars, the chrome-lever for the 4-speed was converted from the "Inland" to the "Hurst".
Some cars still had the "Inland" shift-control mechanism's though.
You can tell the difference between an "Inland" mechanism and
a "Hurst' mechanism, very simply. With an "Inland" unit, you should be
able to read a chapter of "War and Peace" in-between shifts
In 1970, my mother had a 340 Duster, with the "Hurst" chrome-level and plastic brown knob. The throws between shifts were not as short as a
"Hurst" Competition/Plus, but not as long as the "Inland" on her 67' 273
Commando Barracuda. The length was somewhere in-between. I
think "Hurst" made a street-type mechanism for the Mopar shifters.
