Okay, so it looks like either a '65 or a '66 3-speed housing is the 
tall housing that will produce this quick shifter. Well, here's 
something of interest. Clark's shows their part number CX3756, which 
they call an NOS Housing-shift-65-66 3 spd, in stock for $27.00!

Now, do we know which shift lever works with this housing? Will a 
chrome Corsa lever work or do you need the black 3-speed lever? I can't 
figure this out by looking in the parts book because it lists lever 
assemblies which includes the shift knob.
