All:

The spacer here goes between the two shift arms on the column shift for my '61 Ranchero. Unfortunately, when I disassembled this, I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the aforementioned spacer, which is clearly NOT symmetrical.

So I need some help. It also should be noted that, as best I can tell, the exploded drawing shows this thing in backwards, since I believe the C gap must be inserted towards the side of the shift tube that has the protruding tang that makes it all move. If I put it in as drawn, I can never engage the longer shift arm.

 

You might want to try over in the Ranchero section here.

You've posted in the 1961-1966 F100 and larger trucks section.

Chad,

Sorry - I didn't look far enough down the list to see that section in the Forum. I'll redirect there. My apologies!
