The 61 Comet was a 3 on the tree, but now we have a C4 in it.
I rigged up a way to shift it through the gears by hooking up a rod from one of the shifting arms to the shift lever on the tranny.
Problems;
Shifting order is upside down. When colum shifter is all the way down it is in Park (1-2-D-N-R-P)
It will be ok for now while we are working out the bugs.
But it is a pain because it's real touchy going through the gears.
I'd rather not cut a hole for a floor mounted shifter, although they look the best, but they are also a couple hundred bucks.
I know to do a cable actuated kick down, you flip the arm over so it's a pull insted of push.
Can the same be done for the shift arm?

When the shift tube in my 74 F100 died,I got a complete floor shifter from a Maveric for $20.00 from a junk yard.AND they pulled it to boot.This was in about 1990.
