SWB question

[speedo]

Does the lever for the inside door handle point up or down. I don't have my handles nearby to test fitment. Haynes has them pointing up...I just need to confirm. Anybody have the door panels off that can help me confirm?
Thanks.

Does this help? I cropped it out of a larger picture. I am not where the car is but I can get a better picture Tuesday night if necessary.

Up. The little thumb-pusher pushes the rod backwards to open the door.

Got all kinds of guidance from the old-skool boys...half of which were wrong
I am done

Not to hijack, but any idea how to get this mechanism to work with an RS style door pull? That's what I need to do as I don't have the original pieces. I am thinking I may need to find the later mechanism for the internals. Thoughts?
