I will be pulling the interior out of my 70 in about 3 weeks, so if no one has given you the measurements, I can take some. Get back to me in about 3 weeks I should be able to help you.

I can't give you measurements, but I found this old picture. It looks like the shifter mount is right on top of a lip in the trans tunnel you can locate on your car.

Wouldn’t there be some kind of depression or dimples in the sheet metal to locate the hole? I mean, how would the guy on the assembly line know where to punch the hole without a reference point?

That's a good question MarkJ. I'm surprised the cable hole is not there, with a plug in it. I would probably mount the shifter first then see where the cable wants to go, before cutting a hole for it. Compare to picture too.

I do find it hard to believe it's Sierra Yellow. I have a list of four others I know about.

Can you post a picture? I got bored with the "vanilla wrapper" so I added stripes last summer.
