O.k. Here is whole setup
We have 3 pedals on the floor, timing and throttle on the column, a shifter for the aux gear box with low gear, direct drive, and hi gear, a lever on the left for the parking/emergency brake and to hold it in "neutral" for starting on cars that didn't have a gear box with a true neutral.
The three Pedals
Pedal on the left is Hi/low. All the way in is low gear, all the way out is hi gear. Somewhere in the middle is "neutral". When you pull the lever on the left it moves the pedal on the left as well so it keeps the car in neutral while you get out and crank the car by hand. Often times in cold weather the "neutral" didn't work so well and cars would creep forward.
The middle pedal is reverse. You hold the pedal on the left in the "neutral" position and step on the pedal in the middle and the car should go backwards.
The pedal on the right is the brake. An original T (Mine has hydraulic brakes and you can see the pushrod going through the firewall to the master cylinder )just had a band that went around the transmission basically and stopped everything from spinning. So you step on the left pedal and hold it in "neutral" and then step on the brake to stop.
Timing and throttle on the column
Timing on the left, throttle on the right
Highly sought after, aux. gear box (3 speed)
Shifting is all done with throttle control. You have to match the engine speed with the drivetrin speed and find a gear, not the easiest of tasks considering you have to shift with the right hand and control the throttle with the right hand. Often times cars with a gear box like this will run a 4th pedal for the throttle in addition to the throttle on the column. This makes getting everything lined up for shifting a bit easier.
Any questions? lol, not quite the easiest of cars to driving in modern traffic.
