Hi guys,
I am restoring a '69 L78/CX400 Nova. When I got the car, someone had put in a floor shifter and the linkage to restore the original column shift linkage from the steering shaft down to the transmission is gone. Does anyone have the necessary parts to sell me? Did they use the same linkage for small block Nova's with TH350 as the big block with TH400? Any help is appreciated.

Check an assembly manual to be sure but I believe that Nova used the same column shift linkages as Turbo 350 and Turbo 400 Camaro did as well.

I had to piece together a column auto COPO many years ago when stuff was easy to find. Toughest part will be the rod from the trans to the frame swivel: 3914805. Powerglide, TH350 are different; even a Firebird with a TH400 is different. The kick down bracket, switch and wiring can also be hard to locate.
