Could some one please tell me what the correct length of the shifter handle, that the knob fits on. One that was in my 68 when I got the car is 12" long, including the bend at the bottom where it bolts on shifter. But it seems to short, compared to ones I see in pictures of other cars? Thank you.

are you looking for Hurst aftermarket shifter sticks?
The shape is different for 67-68 and 69 and dim. are

Hurst 67-68 Camaro ball location measures 10 inch high and 5 1/2 inch back

Hurst 69 Camaro ball location measures 10 3/16 inch high and 4 3/4 inch back

Thanks Joe for the info. Are you saying the length is a total of 15 1/2" from the bottom of stick to top where ball screws on?

538-4106 is for '67-68 camaro
538-7436 is for '69 camaro

What is the number of your Hurst stick?
67-68 Camaro used #4106
Hurst gives you a verticle and horiz dim
It would be about 13 inch with a tape measure along the stick

here is more info then you want but I collect Hurst stuff :)
here is an early 4106 with the cool big Hurst letters.
You can still get a 4106 but will have the modern smaller Hurst letters.

I was going to rechrome this one but then found an even cooler old stick that looks like the one in the Hot Rod Mag Camaro 1967 article that they said was the first Camaro to get a Hurst shifter.
It has a different shape that I guess was used as a prototype that was then changed to the 4106 for production.

The number on mine is 4106. I have a console in car, stick just looked shorter that ones I have seen in pictures of other Camaro's. Thanks for all the info.
