If you are going to a Muncie, our host sells the shifter porch for about $25.
As far as shifters go, contact Pete Serio at http://www.precisionpontiac.net/ He is THE Hurst shifter guy.

i put a m-22 into my 68 tempest.
pedals and z-bar were purchased from Peformance Years. the rods that connect the pedal to the z-bar and the z-bar to the clutch fork i fabricated. PY's parts were a direct bolt in.... the biggest problem i had was finding headers to fit! everyone says that their headers will fit a manual trans, but the 3 sets i did buy didnt fit... so i had to rearange the tubes. if i was to do it again, i would purchase a 1" bore master with a hyd. throwout bearing. makes it alot easier! good luck

Any...
'68-'72 Pontiac A-body hardware will do. Let me know what you cannot find and I'll try and help you. Shifter will be most difficult to obtain. Check with Pete, as suggested. Ron

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
