OEM 3-speed cars without the gear pattern were generally exempted from 
the display requirement here in NJ, because, back in the day when this 
legislation was first enacted, 3-speeds were considered to be the 
"standard" transmission.

But we have moved somewhat afar from the intent of my original message, 
which was:  If the new Clark's Powerglide floor shift kits do not have a 
gear selection indicator, check your local regulations.  I know only 
that if I were to install this kit here in NJ, I would have to devise a 
means to indicate gear selection in order to pass State inspection.
