What choose a reverse valve body?

Ok, with "modern" ratchet shifters, you'd bout have to be a dumbass. Especially with something like the Hurst Quarter Stick. It's obvious there's more than "one" reason. lol I've always kinda wanted to do a column shift with a reverse valve body.
Got one! My a12 was that way when i bought it. The mechanism had been modified so a tap (with a slight push) from first to second was all that was needed, then a pull to drop down into third.
Loved the manual body. Shift early to be quiet, shift late to bark second..... every time.
