Thanks all. In Central Mass and yeah, the guy I go to does commercial inspections as well, might be them just making it match. Buddy that does state inspections in Hingham mentioned the same.
I do, and the oem switch is still at the base of the column. Manual shift Lever was removed from the column so no dual shifter action available.
Going with a street bike reverse switch and spring setup. Just need it to be functional for 10 mins. Friend of mine who has a few Model A and Model T's use these all the time and swears by them.
Thanks again to all who commented and helped
