I am using a stock tilt column and I originally bought one of the gear indicator lenses that have the extra overdrive spot, but I could not get it to line up right. The reverse is to close to the park. I know some guys say they got it to work but i got tired of trying. So I used the original lenses and got the pointer lined up perfectly on park, reverse, neutral and drive (overdrive). It is only slightly off on 1, 2 and 3. When you put it in 1st it is just under the 1.

Three rod that came with the Lokar kit was too short. I bought some 5/16" stainless steel rod and bent it to fit. I also threaded both ends because I did not like the set screws that Lokar uses on the transmission side.
