Automatic transmission linkage

[HugrOrang71]

I have a Turbo 350 from a 71 installed in the 65. It had originally had a T350 before I got it, although I'm not sure if was original or not. The original column showed a 3 speed auto.
What I am needing is a picture of the linkage that mates the original column to the transmission at the lower end, as well as the linkage on the transmission itself.

Thank you,
Jason

Jason,
My '62 was originally a "3 on the tree" (manual trans), and when I dropped in a 350sbc & TH350 trans, I used an aftermarket shift rod linkage kit to hook up to shift the trans.

You can pick this up at most aftermarket parts suppliers, and is found pretty easily at car shows/swapmeets. I picked mine up for $45, and get the long rod, the short one is way too short. It's also pretty easy to install, there is a funky washer that you press into the tab on shifter at the base of the steering column.

Then bolt on the little ribbed knob on the shifter arm on the side of the trans, loosely slide on the "arm" on the knob of the shifter arm. Then loosely koo the rod from the steering column down to the "arm on the side of the trans.

There is a 2 section on the arm that is slit so that you can fine tune the firmness, or softness of the shift when shifting gears. Once you got everything set the way you want it, tighten everything all up, and you are good to go.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into one of those kits.
