Same box and shifter I have in the EK wagon.

Promatic 2 will work with a TH350 transmission provided it has the correct fittings - it will also work with other transmissions (eg TH250, TH375, TH400, &*#@ C4 and C6, Mopar Torqueflite A727-A904, ’62-’73 Powerglide and GM '62-'73 Powerglide).

Cheers,

Billy,

The cable bracket and trans arms are different - when you buy the shifter new, there are a handful of them supplied to suit different transmissions. Take a look at Figure 6A in the attached:

Apologies I can't take any photos for you - I'm on the road for work for the next fortnight.

Cheers,
Harv.

Thanks Harv for the manual it sorted a few things out that I don't have I will have to make a few parts if when you get a chance you could give me the specs of the piece you have to weld to the Th350 part it would help noticed the square cut out section is on an angle. My main problem was I wasn't lifting the shifter a second time between R : Park
Thanks everyone for your help, I new someone would be able to help me out (just the way this forum works)

Billy,

My TH350 didn't have a back drive system, so I didn't need to weld the Hurst transmission arm to the back drive arm. The transmission arms are available new from Hurst for about $17 - probably worth buying one rather than trying to make one (getting the square hole at the right angle will be painful):
