Replacement shift knobs.

I am looking for a high quality replacement shift knob and boot for my car. It looks like it will be an interesting fit, though. What do you guys recommend?


BTW, for those guys who are following my problems, I think I have them all fixed again. I used a smoke machine on my vacuum setup again, and found it was leaking at the intake boot. Seems the clamp screw there keeps backing out. Tightened it down, and viola! I now have a nice clean idle. Of course, this was after finding countless broken and worn out hoses under the intake manifold.

As for the no-start problem, it turned out to be the battery in the end. I got lucky, in that almost every part of the system was bad (cables, starter, and battery), and had to replace them all to fix it. Urgh.

Poor Californians, they are always getting the short end of it, and now this?
