Reverse switch?

According to the 69 shop manual, should be the 3 pin on the transmission. That's not to say some "mid model year" changes might have transpired.

You clearly have a shifter mounted reverse switch. The older ones had a single pin switch on the transmission for NS, and a separate switch as shown on your shifter for reverse lights only.

If it's not wired up, someone obviously bypassed it. You should have a starter relay with 2 "push on" connectors, and one of them should go down the NSS pin on the transmission

For what it's worth, both of my '64 Darts have the single wire NSS on the tranny. The brown wire from the NSS goes to the starter relay. The backup light switch in the ragtop GT is mounted to the pushbutton shifter. No backup lights on the coupe. My '64 FSM has info on adjusting both the pushbutton and console NSS.

Thanks. The console switch looks factory with the right wires. The wires have been spliced (into crimp butt connectors) that disappear under the dash.I'm thinking a previous owner modded the wiring. I'm just trying to make everything work as it should. Sounds like I need to add one wire from starter relay to NSS to make everything all right.

That should fix the start in any gear but park and neutral if the switch and the linkage inside the tranny are set properly. The backup light switch in your console needs 12 volts on one side (polarity doesn't matter) and the other side goes to the body wiring connector, which is behind the left kick panel. In my '64 FSM, backup light power comes from the wiper switch to the console switch to the body wiring connector and all the wires are shown as white, 18 gauge.
