Welcome with a rare Challenger. It sounds like you may have some incorrect shifter linkage pieces. Often times 70 E-Body pieces are mixed with 71-74 pieces during restorations as many people sell them as 70-74 and they will not interchange correctly this will cause adjustment problems or you may also have the incorrect lever on the trans where it connects to the valve body.

I agree , often the arm on the trans is the problem , it is a different length for the column shift

I think the lever on the box may be the problem as the 340 and 727 when bought were from an a body.Does anybody know if they are different and where I can get one if it is incorrect.

Many times it does not matter what body the trans came from it usually is the years that make a big difference. If you knew what size you needed i may have one i have about 10-15 different ones available
