Black Tie 161 POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:MD, USA Registered: Jul 2002 Admin Use	posted 06-10-2004 08:47 AM Below is a link to the POA Events 2004 Section with detailed photos and descriptions of the Flameball shifter assembly installation. You can't go wrong if you follow this. Bob didn't take photos of the installation on his Prowler, so I promised I would take care of it... check it out! http://www.prowleronline.com/scrapbook/neweventview.php?id=411

Looks simple enough so that even a dolt like me could do it. This is probably a stupid question, but what takes the place of the button on the original shift knob so that you can shift it out of park? Rick

This is probably a stupid question, but what takes the place of the button on the original shift knob so that you can shift it out of park? Rick This is the ingenious part of Bob's design... The whole shifter stem now pushes DOWN to release the parking lock. No more buttons! That's why it is important to realize the new set screw that holds the new stem in place is NOT intended to lock the shifter to the stock stem. The new shifter slides up and down on the stock stem via the slot in the front of it. the set screw only holds the shifter's vertical travel in check. that's why it is important to not overtighten the new set screw, or the shifter won't slide properly on the stem. Also the new set screw goes in the TOP hole, so if you ever needed to put the stock shifter back on, you still have the original (lower) set screw hole intact! Now I liked my stock shifter, but this new deal makes the old shifter look like a leather turd sticking out!

Marty Usher POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:San Antonio, Texas, United States Registered: Jun 2001 Admin Use	posted 06-12-2004 05:10 PM BT - nice instructions! Don't you love the way it looks? My installation instructions were to drive the car to Real Rod and have Bob install it while I drank his beer! Bob is in some pain from a broken rib but I am sure cnote will keep him filled with 12 once pain killers! Marty
prowlrman Prowler Junkie From:Phoenix, AZ USA Registered: Feb 2003 Admin Use	posted 06-13-2004 12:28 AM What a guy that Bob is....posts from Cnote's computer that he will ship my ball as soon as he gets back...I posted that no rush is necessary...his health is far more important than shipping my shifter...but I really appreciate his concern. Having talked with him numerous times on the phone..I feel like he is a friend..and would urge anyone who has not done so yet, to do business with him. Quality parts from a quality guy!!

Prowlerman: I heard that....He is usually brief online, but I have had hours of conversation with Bob on the phone... about all our favorite subject. What is possible to do next on the car?
