Jeff,
Check around at your local tow yards.
I got mine at an abandoned vehicle auction the tow company holds
weekly. Paid $40 for the whole car ('79 210) removed the tranny,speedo
cable
driveshaft yoke and shift lever then had the rest hauled away for free
by a junk dealer.
good luck,
Dave
'67 Midget (5-speed in corner of garage waiting for when I have to remove
the
engine)
