Hurst to Inland adapter?

[bull]

I hear there is a way to adapt an Inland shifter to a Hurst linkage setup. Where can I get info on such a thing?

[Rolling_Thunder]

passon performance sells them i believe

Not sure about Passon, but Brewer does for sure.

Brewer's has them - $299.95. I thought I had a picture from one of the shows but I can't find it.

I have one for my car but have not yet installed it. Probably next month some time.    Looks to be good quality.

So the Inland arm just attaches to the top with those three allen head bolts?

[Dans 68]

That's right. The adapter is what makes this work, along with the Hurst shifter, of course. The reverse lockout on the inland will no longer work, but it still maintains the stock Inland look.

Can I ask what exactly is that thing for and why would somebody buy it?

[Ghoste]

It's so you can use the 68 and older style shift lever on top of a Hurst shifter.  The Inland style ones were bad for hanging up between gears so this way you can keep the stock look with the precision of the Hurst unit.

The Inland shifters were on 66 to mid-68 cars...everyone but me thinks they are a piece-of-crap shifter..I am still running the OE Inland shifters on both my 66 Chargers, never had any problems at all...

But that's just my opinion....consider the source.

Those guys who want to have the Hurst shifter mechanism and still retain the Inland handle have this option available

So the hurst is better/more precise but the inland is to keep the factory look, so now u ca have the look with the precision of the hurst. I assume ur talking hurst lever with inland handle.... i got it right?

Wats the inland look like then, i tought hurst was original? pic pls of interior?

[Dans 68]

Yes, you have it right. Inland was original equipment up until early '68 when Hurst was specified. Here is an earlier thread http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,49287.0.html.

That kind of stinks. The lockout is one of the coolest things about the Inland.

Why not just rebuild, refurbish and tighten up the old Inland? There's got to be a way to make them work better.

Yup...I agree

Having never driven a brand new Inland shifting car I really don't know how tight the action is. They do have the reputation as a "pick-a-gear, any gear" when you shift fast...I have experienced that first hand.    I think they are rebuildable (most everything is with a bit of effort) but as I understand it a new Hurst is hands above a new Inland.

Dan

[Ghoste]

I agree.  I've never driven one new but I've driven some pretty low mileage original ones and sometimes they worked fine and other times I was lucky I didn't destroy other parts.  Like many oem parts then and now, they were a a little cheaper than some other suppliers (in this case Hurst)... and there was a reason for that.

i must say the white ball on my hurst looks WAY better.

the only color ball for the Inland was black...no other color was available
