What's the difference between 70-72 and 73-74 manual pedals?

Title says it all.

Later years, pedals are rectangle.

Early years, pedals were...trapezoid?

That's what I thought. Thanks.

70-71 pedals are smaller (and cost more)

While I'm on this topic, what's the difference between automatic and 4-speed consoles?

The size and location of the hole in the consoles is different, requiring a different top plate.

I couldn't find a larger picture but this gives you an idea:

Thanks, Jamie. People list different consoles, though. Will the auto console work with the manual top plate, or do both need to be replaced?

You can convert the plastic parts from what I've read.  If you search around you can find threads on it. I think the plastic is repopped now so it might not be worth doing the cutting on original parts any more.

Just need a dremel and a flat and round file!


Top is a four speed unit:

You can kind of see where it's cut here:

You can ante up this template if not sure where to cut:
