Neutral Safety Switch Needed

WZ JUNK · November 16, 2004, 06:44:13 AM

I need to hook up a neutral safety switch on a car that has no provision for one. There is a racing shifter in the floor and it has no switch. It is an older shifter and I have not been able to find a listing for a switch for this shifter. So I need to find a switch that is easily adaptable to the shifter or transmission so that I can wire in a neutral safety switch. Does anyone have any thoughts or can guide me to switch?

What Trans are you using?

I used a Ron Francis unit on the turbo 350 in the '40. It mounts on the transmission pan rail and connects to the shift lever. Narry a problem.

The Ron Frances switch that I looked at in the Parr catalog looks like a GM column switch that has been adapted to work on the transmission or possibly to a shifter. Is this the one you have?

Yes, that's the style John. Pretty simple.

Locar will work on a 400 too, and half the price of Ron Francis. Locar uses a big truck backup light switch, available anywhere.

I ordered a Lokar switch assembly today. It looked like the best set up. Thanks to everyone. I will try to give and update when I install it.
