Will this picture work? I also have the original 1970 instructions somewhere if it is any better. This is during mockup, but the rods are still attatched to the same side of the levers on the trans and shifter. Only difference is my spacers.

Some actual Comp Plus rods pictured here. As Jared pointed out on his trans the orientation is the same.

I notice Jared has some super sexy cover on that toploader. Probably engineered to shave a tenth off in the quarter. Looks cool!
