My car, although a 427 SC, had an Indy-style straight stick which also put my knuckles into my toggle switches. From what I can tell, Hurst shifter sticks are all connected to the shifter with two bolts. I got on a Hurst site that listed dozens of various shifter stick styles and I picked out this awesome black annodized aluminum stick that was about 1 inch shorter and curves slightly back towards the driver. This put my shift knob in that perfect location and is no longer in conflict with the dash. By removing the shifter boot on the transmission tunnel, I was able to easily get to the two mounting bolts and change out the sticks. I bought the round black Hurst knob with the toploader shift pattern which looks great on the new stick.
