do you have one of those cute aftermarket wood or leather wrapped knobs or the
original knob. I just switched the knob on the 68 back to the original last week
and found that now my knuckles don't hit the dash when shifting due to the
smaller diameter of the knob. The aftermarket ones are a bit large for my hands
and I do hit the dash when I use one of them ............. my .02 ............
