79 camaro headers hitting shift linkage now trouble shifting
I have a 79 camaro and i put a pair of patriot longtube headers on and the driver side header is hitting the shift linkage and it wont go into gear......its an automatic floor shift 305v8.......is there a aftermarket linkage i can by or is there some way to move it up a little.....thanks

most are cable linkage .Can you post a picture? I have had both Headman and Hooker headers with no issues on my 1979 Z-28 RS Camaro .When it was an automatic car.I have used both my stock shifter and linkage ,And a B &M Quicksilver.You might have to modify your header to fit .Or check with businesses such as Lokar.

My old Cyclone headers didn't require this, and were installed on the Z-28 for 34 years or so. The Patriots are definitely better headers, though!

no no get a b and m PRO stick with cover and mine came with a cable . this converts it to cable shift and LOCKS transmission in every position until you move it and has a reverse lockout for safety. this shifter is the ultimate shifter and saves transmissions from premature failure and gives you complete control. your transmission works the same to however you have it configured. Its safety and usage surpasses all other shifters in my opinion. but that's just my car. it came with a shift on column as well.it was a Canadian Xperimental z28.
PS a super heavy duty truck cable is also available it is very thick it is what iuse although mine came with a very heavy duty cable as it was but the heavier duty truck cable is even more heavy duty. you wouldn't ever need it, its the way ido things.
