Default hurst billet plus

Anyone who has a hurst billet plus, I need your help. I bought what I THOUGHT was a hurst billet plus shifter from a guy. I've felt this shifter in a friend's car and it does not even feel close to the one I bought. It does have the two set screws to adjust the stops but the stick is awfully long and it feels like the pivot point is different. You know if there is a serial number or anything I can look for to tell? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does it have a gold base??? If so it's a Billet Plus.

Thanks Joe. I pulled the stock hurst out of my car and it also has a gold base, but I know it's not a billet plus. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Any other way to tell?

The pivot point should be different. Hurst moved it upwards to increase the amount of leverage to improve shift time.

Here is what the Hurst Billet Plus should look like except the one for the F-body doesn't have the backward bend in the stick like the one in this picture.

It could be that your friend had a short stick on his which is why it felt different.
