    Posted: Apr/01/2008 at 11:14am
Anybody know what the linkage between the reverse shift lever and the steering column lock lever is supposed to be on a 1970 AMX, 390, T-10v, with Hurst Shifter? 
 
A cable?  Rods & pivot of some sort?
 
The steering column lever is there, and there appears to be an available hole in the reverse lever, so I'm assuming the interlock was hooked up when new.  Apparently, sometime in the past 38 years, someone decided that it wasn't worth the effort to be able to lock the shifter with the ignition key -- go figure!
 
Thanks in advance for any info (a picture or two would be worth more than a thousand words!).

I've got one in my '70 AMX. It's a rod. Basically it's an anti-theft device. You can't get it out of reverse without turning the lock cylinder and you can't rotate the lock cylinder to remove the key without putting it in reverse.

Great pictures w/ alot of details, does any of the vendors have the linkage and brackets you need to mount the column lock linkage ? All of these years, I was thinking I had the wrong year steering column in my 70 AMX.
Thanks
