Ok, so I have some parts to choose from, so I need to get an opinion on what I want to put in. I have what seems to be 2 different types of shifters, one is from an 07/72 and one is from a 74 and another from a 75. The 2 late ones seem the same, but the older one is way different. So which one is better?
If it makes any difference, I will be (hopefully) putting in a side shift, as long as it doesn't give me troubles when I start her up.
Also, the big/wide rubber gasket around the engine bay, can I take that stuff off without ruining it? It's in good shape, but I want to paint the bay. Can't figure it out.

The shifter and linkage for the side- and tail-shift are different; check out the diagrams here:

Side Shifter
The rubber gasket around the engine bay can be removed carefully with a small flat head screwdriver and maybe a small putty knife. I think some of the pieces if not all may be stapled together at the ends.
