  Repost: (still looking for a couple of volunteers)
  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
