Cool, it's absolutely great when it all comes together, and works as it's supposed to. And then to realize how everything went astray in the first place. Glad to hear all is well, and you didn't hurt anything else in the process. Sounds like a win win to me.
Glad we could be of help. Kudos to all who joined in.

Glad to hear everything worked out and the motor is running fine!
I did an automatic to 4-speed conversion in my 69 Mach 1 during the restoration. Most of the linkage parts are available new reproduction. The conversion wasn't difficult. It merely amounts to gathering all the parts. On an assembled car, the most difficult part will be installing the clutch pedal, over ride spring, and brake pedal for a manual transmission. You'll have to remove the dash pad to easily get to everything. That's not a bad job. Removing the dash pad might take 20 minutes. The shifter uses the same opening in the floor as the automatic shifter. Think about how you drive the car to decide whether you want a close ratio or wide ratio 4 speed. Close ratio trans is best for more "spirited driving" and wide ratio trans is best for basic cruising around like you would with your daily driver.
If you are not certain what parts are needed for the conversion, I'd go through Perogie Enterprises. They have a huge collection of NOS, used and some repro parts and know these cars very well. Some complain their prices are high, but in my experiences they are in line with everybody else.

Some complain their prices are high, but in my experiences they are in line with everybody else. Thanks for the advice. I have already decided on the close ratio if I do it. I’ve already had the dash out when I rewired the whole car. That was fairly easy to do. (Glad a researched the speedo cable removal). I figured like you did that the pedal placement will be the biggest issue. I hear good things about David Kee toploaders so I might go through them for the trans. I’ll check out Perogie. I wish somebody had a complete kit like you can get for the 5 & 6 speeds. I also wish somebody had a complete list of what is needed all the way down to the last nut and bolt. I want to have it all on hand. Like I said in my previous post, I haven’t decided if I’m doing it yet but there is nothing better than an old school 4 speed. Automatics are boring. I need to decide soon so I can move forward on some interior items. (Center consoles are different). Thanks for your help.

I have purchased trans parts from David Kee when I rebuilt my close ratio Toploader. He's a bit pricey for parts, but he has everything for those transmissions, including making his own parts that are otherwise no longer available.
As far as consoles, it's merely the top plate that is different between the auto trans and 4-speeds. And then, the auto trans console will fit and work fine with a 4-speed shifter. But a 4-speed console will not work with an auto trans shifter.
