If I am not mistaken, the 83/84 hurst olds came with the 200-R4 4 speed, so an actual lightning rod set-up (if you could find one) is made for a 4 speed automatic.

There are aftermarket lightning rods.. Killduff makes them for 3 and 4 speed. Pricey, tho...

Yes, Hurst made 3 spd Lightning rods. Search Ebay if you want one or buy the more the more robust Killduff rods.

I have plenty new LR knobs if you need any...

And a 3 speed LR setup will mount just like a 4-speed. It's all in the detents. The physical difference between 3 and 4 speeds that you can see would be the center rod is taller on a 3 speed. 4 speeds were made with the rods about equal height. Probably for aesthetics.

I assume you have an idea of what these shifters cost? Even well used.

As I get older I do talk to myself more. Just for conversation since we’re on the subject, has anyone ever put Lightning Rods in a 4-door car?
