No you don't. Not having a light makes you a better driver. Really.

That is definitely different Commando1 still cool. Also as an update, as i learn more about mopars the block in the car is a non hp block but is a 69' and the 383 in which i thought was the matching block is a C code non hp for 67' i guess which kind of ticks me off. Anyhow anyone know if they put some 67 blocks in 68's?

Blocks cast in late '67 absolutely were put in early '68 cars.

Maybe so, but that Inland isn't doing anyone any favors.
Are you making a joke Stan? He said reverse light

Not having a reverse light makes you a better attentive driver all around.
With no light you are EXTRA attentive when you want Reverse and not first.
Gotta be thinking all the time. Not having a light makes you absolutely sure you don't go to first initially. You make extra sure which is what you have to do with all your shifting, hence driving. That's why I am a 4 speed maniac.
It's a trucker thingie.
Hold it in second at 1900 RPM between that last turn and your immediate next turn, downshift with a slide and a click while making the turn, accelerate to the correct rpm, slide click into second. No lights.

Under the dash
It lets you know if you accidently put it into Reverse instead of first when you are at a red light and saves you a lot of humiliation.
A real man puts it in gear and tests it before the light turns green

I never used the reverse light for anything. I knew by feel what I was doing. I just think it's cool to have the light in the era cars I'm talking about because that means I have the 4 speed instead of an automatic and I like seeing it on the dash.
The second part your are talking about a shift light obviously. Never had one of those.
