2-Spd to 3-Spd Auto Column Shift Indicator Lens Conversion
Hi all. I don't know if everyone is aware how easy it is to convert your 2-spd automatic column shift indiucator lens to a 3-spd or overdrive indicator. I simnply bought a 3-spd conversion lens for a 65 nova column and it fit perfectly into my stock housing. I have a turbo 400 in my truck and now all the gears line up perfectly on my indicator.I got this from Classic Parts. They are a little pricey though($25). They also have one for an O/D tranny. I can't figure out how to post pics, or I would. Ron

I never even considered getting an aftermarket one because I assumed they wouldn't fit and if the did the detents wouldn't line up. I was able to find an original one.
I had to modify/reweld the cams at the bottom of the column so the transmission detents would line up. You didn't do that? |

No I didn't. The detents lined up for me. Don't know how the 4-spd(overdrive) indcator would be.
