Just say no to pistol grip shifters in anything but '70 & newer.   ;)

I have a pistol grip on the Keisler but I prefer a Hurst T-handle over anything else.     Don't like ball shifters at all.

Problem with the T handle rowing a 833 is that you'll be smacking your leg going to 2nd unless you have it at an angle.   And you'll also smash your knuckles going for 3rd - but that happens with a ball also.

With some people, like me, it's not about esthetics but ergonomics...the factory pistol-grip handle just feels right; I've retrofitted them to just about every standard shift car I've owned in recent years, including my '92 Diesel Ram and '05 Mustang.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.
