“I’m going for the 1970 Z-28 RS with the LT1 350, Muncie M22 rock crusher, and the 4.10:1 “411 positraction” read end. Blue with the white stripes. “

I ordered and bought a ‘73 Z with blue/white stripes / white interior .

Huge lemon from day 1 . Picked it up and drove about a mile from the dealer when the Muncie linkage locked up . Had to drive slow back to the dealer in first gear . No mechanics there in the evening , had to do a temp. repair on my own . Salesman of course didn’t know squat . Had more trouble with the linkage and a dozen other things . Like I said , very sour lemon . Got rid of it within 6 months and never bought a GM product again .

The Muncie shift linkage was notoriously unreliable in many ways, extremely finicky adjustment and crappy bushings were the main culprits.

That’s why Hurst sold so many linkage kits.
