I have a 57 2dr post that was originally a six standard. The original owner installed a 283 w/power glide, but kept the standard shift column.

I have a shift indicator for the power glide, but in taking apart the top end of the column I find there is no way to connect the shift tube to the indicator.

Do I need to get a complete power glide shift column, or is there a mod out there to adapt the standard column to the shift indicator?

Also I don't think there is a kick down rod for the power glide in my car. Is that something that can be added?

Thanks!!

On a 57, the shift indicator is in the speedometer. The speedometer is different in a standard and auto. I think you would be ahead by getting an automatic column. Then you would have a place for the neutral safety switch and the shift indicator wire to attach to the shift tube. There should be plenty of stock columns around, with a lot of folks going to aftermarket tilt columns.

O K , Thanks -- any one out ther have such an animal. Also, I do have the shift indicator -- does that bolt into the standard instrument cluster, or does that need to be changed also?

Thanks

Needs to be an auto speedo.

Thanks, I'll have to get one of them. Most that I see are apparently standard shift units

I am changing from Automatic to Standard shift. We could trade columns I also have the automatic speedometer, needs new face.
