I'm converting my car from an auto to a 4 speed. I have the 67 wiring diagrams and have an idea what I want to do....but wondered how the factory did a couple things on 4 speed wiring.
1. The reverse light shows two violet wires going down to the safety switch. How did they do the pigtail? Was it one wire all the way from the bulkhead connector to the 2 prong switch on the transmission. Was there a connector just off the bulkhead and then a pigtail down to the 2 prong switch. Did the 2 prong switch have a short pigtail and then the bulkhead have long wires that go down to the pigtail?
I currently have a short pigtail off the 2 prong switch. I know what I can do to make it work....but would rather be more representative of the factory wiring.
2. Starter relay. It has a ground prong for an automatic neutral safety switch. What do you do with that when you are running a 4 speed. If all else fails, I'll run it straight to ground, but what did the factory do with that post for 4 speed cars?
I have everything figured out under the dash and have properly routed the wires to the bulkhead....just need help on the engine compartment side. Pictures would be helpful if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.
