Hey guys, I've got a '75 Swinger that has a 3 speed on the column, which was all well and good til the bushing went out. Now I'd like to change to a 3 speed on the floor to make things a bit easier, but I have no idea what kind of linkage or shifter I should be buying to make this change. Can anyone shoot me some ideas? Would really love to be able to get this car moving again. Thanks!

Is it a stick shift or an automatic. I am assuming it is an auto. It would be much easier to repair your column shifter.
Summit racing has a good selection of floor shifters

wat do u use do they have 518 kits
my kit contains a new shift valve and associated springs for accumulator shift points seals for lock up circuit the company claims that the lock up tork converter will handle 400 hp
this is going to be crucial to my combo to come out of the hole with a 2000 stall and then lock up and run the rest of the gears should prove to be quite competitive
i replace the 1st gear gov valve which means i can shift the car into first at any speed
the valve body has several options for shift patterns speed rpm and the such
the improvement in the manual shift speed is attributed to a new shift valve which is machined to remove the the over lap that occurs during the shift transition 1 to 2 to 3
i love mine i have full auto but i always manually shift her always and its but a second and bip your in 2 or bip your in 1 st

They have shifters for just about everything ever made:

i like the ideal of their style
after my big swap my brother and i are going to desighn a center colum out of malpe he's desighned custom interiors and has a lot of cool ideals
my ideal shifter would be the classic pistol grip with the slap stick style but i would like to integrate into it the switches for the lock up and over drive
im using the b&m z gate used the mega shifter in my early days
i have the T handle with the push button switch in it was thinking of using it for the lock up, but i might just carve my own
