Guys - I have a 66 Malibu column shift that was originally a powerglide and now has a TH-350 in it. I am trying to set it up so I can use the stock column shift with the TH-350 and make it look as factory as possible. That said, I can't get the powerglide linkage to hook up to the tranny so I found this part online (ebay). If you don't mind taking a look I have a few questions.

1. Is this really a factory option, he says it was for 1965-67 Cars with TH-400 and TH-350. I am not sure when the TH-400 came out but wasn't the first year for a TH-350 1969?
2. Is this really that rare/worth that much. I ask because it looks like half of the pieces are the same pieces that I already have for my powerglide set up. That said...the piece that bolts to the tranny shift selector (shiny silver with a spring on one end) and the long piece that crosses over from the frame that interfaces with the tranny shift selector are the only two pieces that were not part of the power glide linkage....from what I can see here.
3. The seller responds to emails but will only say that he sells lots of these and that they are rare but he won't call me (gave him my phone number last week) and he won't give me a call....making me hesitant to bid.
4. Any advice is appreciated, and if someone knows if this kit is pieced together from other GM parts, please let me know where i can get those two pieces that I don't have or if someone has those two pieces, please PM me as I will be willing to pay for those two pieces, if they are out there. Thank you!
Best,
Mike
