Does anyone have a picture or diagram with measurements of the correct location for a 1970 4 spd non console car hump. I found some real old posts with pic's bot no measurements, one that had measurements listed in the text and on pic's, but the pic's were no longer showing . Wasn't sure where to put this so this forum seemed most appropriate.
Thanks

The hump really only fits in one location. Mock it up with your shifter installed and its location will be obvious.

That's is exactly what we did. but the carpet fits pretty poorly which is why I have the other post up on carpeting fitment.
The car is an original 4 spd bucket seat car (non console) but the floor pan had been seriously HACKED. So once the floors were repaired the was some fitment issues with the new hump to the new tunnel. So the hump was located to the shifter. All is good except for the carpet fit.
So now I'm wondering if the hump location is correct or possibly even an incorrect shifter which resulted in improper hump location ?
Did I mention sometimes I think too much thank you for your help and I
love your signature blurb LOL .

Look on e-Bay for shifter porches. I had to make mine from 4 speed cars. My car has Hurst Autostick on a th-400. Just zip screw it on. It looks a lot harder then it actually is.. I recommend using silicone calking between both surfaces or it will squeak..

I have a shifter porch left over from my autostick install. You can have it for $20 plus shipping..

Sometimes the carpet just doesnt fit well. You may want to experiment with adding some felt carpet padding around the hump. You dont have to make it permanent till you see how it will work out.

I believe the console hump carpet may be slightly smaller.

Also, adding more padding may help overall fitment.

Like the guys are saying it kind of a no brainer. But BEFORE you weld it . Put four screws in it then run your shifter through the gears..... And the screws ' self tappers" will help in getting a tighter weld.

Thanks for all the replies 🍺
I was hoping to confirm the hump was in the correct location. As the picture I posted shows, the hump is centered over the shifter in neutral. But then I start wondering is it an incorrect shifter that we located the to ?
I have spent several hours looking at pictures and due to camera angles it's just hard to tell without known measurements from a reference point which would be best shown in a picture.
The general consensus seems to indicate the carpet is a known problem in most cases. If anyone else has anything to add please do
thanks again for all the help 🍺

Damn that's a big shift hump!
Here's the hump I put in my 66, and I bought carpet for a automatic (column shift) car.

Truth be told; this was a perfect fit for the Muncie shifter shown. When I switched to the Hurst shifter I had to "enlarge" opening on the drivers side.
Had I known I was going with Hurst I would have shifted the hump over before welding it

Ill tell you what I know. That looks very similar to the shifter i had in my 69 for many years. The one i had was shaped very much like that and maybe exactly like that. The shifter I had was a weld on handle and yours is a bolt on. When i got the car it had its original bench seat (with that shifter) and i changed it over to buckets and a console and used same shifter but had to change the hump to a console hump but still same shifter. Not positive but thinkthat may be correct or close to correct for buckets and console but works with either. I now have a Legend trans so i have a completely different shifter.

Thats an automatic shifter. Hurst Autostick if im not mistaken.

I’ve read that oem 4 speed tunnels were smaller than automatic tunnels in these cars. Not sure what years but I think thru 70.
Any truth to this?

I think the tunnels are the same within the model year. The body wasnt built in regards to ending up as an automatic or a manual trans car. There are some differences in tunnel size between the model years however.

It certainly does seem like your hump may be larger than it needs to be?
