Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Nice looking shifter there Randal. If Keith wants, you could even measure it so it would give him some rough estimates to work with IRT the Lokar shifter length. What I like about the Lokar is it looks like a manual shifter.

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

I agree with HillbillySailor.I know it's not an automatic, but the look is similar.

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Go with the column shifter for now, and buy a Lokar floor shifter to clear the bench seat.

Like this...



You can get it in either 23", 16", 12", 10", 8" and 6" lengths


Here's the page that has the part numbers for them...

And finally, here's what a 16" shifter looks like in a 72 Nova (from a Nova website)...



I think the 12" shifter would look bitchin' in the Disco.

she understood your plight and shes going to go get that arm lengthening surgery, now all you need is blocks on the pedals, just like the clutch in the HRM camaro. short people....

Keith , I know you've just been hanging on the edge of your seat these two pages waiting on my words of wisdom.....(hehe) . Shoot my Safari (astro) van came with bucket seats. Pitch the bucket. Beside theres noway that the car can be a sleeper, Its famous....... remimber!? LOL

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

I bet that nova was stock with the bench? if so, their probably are no mounts for the inside bolts if you want to mount buckets...notch the bench so you can enjoy the wife....do not use duct tape to cover the notch, your wife/girlfriend will stick to it, or worse the white sticky adhesive will come off and stick to the hemline of her skirt which will be noticed by her mom who will mistake it for some other substance and get all freaky and then...............

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Well... with the Rally Wheel's... the Disco really don't look to racy... and the Yellow.. is classic...

It's simply gotta have a Bench... how else am I going to cop a feel at those Red lights??? ( I didn't say that ... trust me )

Seriously... God wants it to have a Bench... and a 4 speed... but it's the Cheap bastard in me that wants this thing to be wickedly Cool on the Cheap... thereby proving you can have a freaking ball on no money.... and it's got a 350 turbo...

I built the Tower to mount this pig and will post some pic's in a bit....

+1 for the column shifter. I ran mid 11's with one-they work fine.

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

hook up the column shifter, and think about it for a while.

The Z gate is junk, I have one in my 55, I should know. although it has been working fine for years, and I got it used/cheap.

KT is now "Mr. T"-I pity the fool... :D

[Eric68]

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Just cut a round hole right in the middle of the bench seat and run the shifter through the seat . . .

Sorry, couldn't resist. ;D

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

If you want it I have a plastic bucket I got from Terry and it's yours for the asking. A friend here has another one for free. You could have 'em in couple of days. But I agree - YUCCK! The notched bench would be cool. If you need a shifter extension for Tonya, head to your local truck stop. They'll have a whole selection in chrome, brass, or gold - take your pick. The gold might be appropriate given that it's the Disco. Have you picked up your gold chains yet?

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

those plastic racing seats are crap...i never had those in my cars.never.yuck.

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Re: Disco Shifter Blues....

Do not forsake the bench!

Build a mount and don't take the easy way out!
