Looking for a BB cable shift and transmission. Or just the cables. I currently have a 72 BB 727 rebuilt with the Imperial shift, but not working correct with my 65 Belvedere.

Located in Mi .. going to the Detroit Mopar meet

Imperial out of Frankenmuth Mi made a kit. Results have been debated as how well it works. However if your present trans has been rebuilt the guts can be swapped into the cable shift case, except the valve body.

The valve body is the most likely issue. Confirm if you have a 65 valve body.

The 62 trans has a flange style driveline not the slip yoke! FYI

I tried a cable and found it difficult running it from the front of the car to the trans. to many things in the way. So I built me a rod system with heim joints. Been running it street and strip for 5 years. No cable slop or damaged cable outer coatings.
