Neutral safety switch/reverse light switch ?'s

[Tony1968]

I had a similar issue with my 81. I used a B+M shifter and a column from a floor shift car installed into a car that was originally a column shift.
I bought a park/neutral relay from Painless to solve the issue. Wires go right to the micro switch and tie in with the purple wire/starter connection. Easy after I found out how to do it.
Got a lot of info here on the forum.
The tangs on the switches needed some tweaking but thats done. Not sure how your shifter is set up compared to mine though.

Nice setup with the relay. Hurst and BM shifters are very similar.

Thanks. Im sure theres other ways of doing it but Im happy with the way it turned out.

For the column instead of zip ties I bent the arm so it is against the firewall and ran a black lag bolt through the hole into the firewall to keep it in place.

For the win!

You don't seem like much of a ziptie and duct tape guy 😉
