It's a Competition Plus made by Hurst for use by GM on the MY6 & MM7 A833. A lot of the OEM side mount shifters from the 50's through the 80's were Hurst units.
Fairly easy to re-work as long as it's not shagged completely out. The shim plates and springs are available.
This guy is hawking his hardened shift rod bushings. They transfer the wear to the soft harder to replace parts. I'd just use the nylon Hurst Pit Pack bushings.

6 bolts is probably gilding the lily. The SM465 does fine with just 4. It's heavier than a dead horse.
