Hello everyone,
I’m switching out my 1979 GMC caballero Diablo from a automatic to a factory 4 speed and I want a neutral safety for it… can anybody help me out with what I’m looking for… pictures, part numbers, placement of where it would go, anything would be much appreciated. It’s one of the last things I need to accumulate before I start this swap. Thanks in advance!

Brent…

This mounts on the pedal hanger with the black rod connecting to the clutch pedal.

A lot of the 78-81 automatic cars will have the wires with the connector but with a jumper. Look to the left side of the steering column for the purple and yellow wires. They should have a connector with female spades to fit the switch.

My '81 didn't have it. I was under the belief only factory gauge cars had that lead with the jumper completing the circuit.

My '81 used that switch. But it also had gauges but no tach.
