I bought a 2003 Mach 1 Shift Knob and i asked around on here and found out that it will fit (as it does) but i cant get it to sit so the numbers face me, they always point towards the dash and i cant get them to face the right way.

anybody out there that can help me?

thanks keith

Not familiar with that particular handle, BUT I have a Hurst T-handle on my car. It uses a Jam Nut under the handle. Spin the handle on as far as you can. Then back it out until you get the desired position. Then turn the jamb nut up against the bottom of the handle.

I would try and use some washers that fit over the threads. Just shim it till it sits right. Once its set put the shims under the shift boot and reinstall the knob.
 
Loc-tite is what I would use, apply it to the threads and tighten it all the way down and then turn it back until you get it facing where you want. Let it dry as to Loc-tite specs and let it ride.
