Twin Stick Doubler Shifter HELP!!

[nvrenuf]

When I hook the linkage to the 205 it hits the doubler adapter before it lines up with the bottom of the shifter. Sorry no picks, it was dark when I gave up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Factory 465/203 set up
ORD Doubler kit (2" up rotation)
ORD twin stick shifters bolted flush to the OE adapter
stock 205, stock 205 linkage

Btw, no instructions with the kit and no related info on ORD's site.

WARNING, I've cross posted this in the ORD forum too but it doesn't get as much action so...


Damn it this is frustrating, I still can't get this to work.

Is there a difference between a 205 twin stick kit and a twin stick doubler shifter kit?

When I bought this (several years ago) I got a doubler kit and twin stick shifter kit at the same time. Recently when I went to install all of this I noticed the shifter kit had instructions for a twin stick 205 set up.

After looking at pics from other folks I have successfully hooked up the 205 linkage to the outer shifter. My problem now is the OE lever on the 203 - If installed with the lower offset outward it hits the 205 linkage. If I flip it over with the lower offset towards the 203 the lever itself bottoms out against the case and binds.

Here is a pic of my lever (I think this was from a '79 400/203) -

I noticed that my lever has a lot more offset than the 4th pic down in this post -

Is that lever an ORD part? Am I missing something/parts?

You need a different arm with less offset for the 203 and a thicker washer between the 203 and the new arm.

So is that a different arm supplied by ORD or do the OE ones vary by year.

The new arm came with the ORD triple stick shifter kit. Here are a couple of pics.

Seems like you could remove some of the bend out of your shifter and make it work. Were you planning to have the 203 shifter completely separate? Here you can see how the levers are connected..203 is on right.

I've figured out my problem is I'm missing the 203 lever from the twin stick kit. I'm going to call them tomorrow and get one.
