<VV> Ever expanding project - gotta '64 4-speed?

[NicolCS at aol.com]

I'm sure you EM guys have really felt "left-out" on this "LM shifter" project 
(bet not!).  Well, here's your lucky chance.  Do you have a '64 4-speed car 
with a known stock (unmodified) shifter?  If so, I'd like to ask you to measure 
your 3-4 shift distance as we have with the LM cars.  I don't have an early 
car at my disposal (in fact there isn't any car in my kitchen at all) so I have 
to leave it up to you to select a convienent spot under the dash or on the 
radio face from which to horizontally measure the distance to the rear of the 
shifter ball.

Here's what to do:
1) Fully shift into 3rd gear.  Measure the horizontal distance from a chosen 
reference point on or under the dash to the rear of the shifter ball.  Record 
the distance.
2) Fully shift into 4th gear.  Repeat the measurement from the rear of the 
shifter knob to the same reference point.
3) Subtract the measurements to get the 3-4 shifter movement dimension.

I don't need a whole bunch of these, but I do need a couple. For the first 
lucky winners I promise riches beyond all imagination.  That, or a pat on the 
back and a couple of "atta-boys".
Thanks,
Craig (leader of the ever expanding "Big Bang" shifter project) Nicol
