I have a column shift car and have installed a B&M Quick Silver floor shifter. Install went pretty good except the Neutral Safety Switch and Reverse Light Switch wiring. The instructions are brutal from B&M, maybe its me I'm not a wiring kinda guy. Where do I find the original switches and how do I hook up the wires to the new switches properly?? (I did post similar in Electrical but this kinda fits in drietrain being the shifter thanks in advance)

Bottom of the mast jacket... you will find a 1/4 moon looking electrical switch..... thats the back up lights and safety switch.... just exyend the wires to each perspective switch.... un bolt the switch from the mast jacket... there is a peg that moves with the shift selector on the mast jacket.

manually move the peg to see which pair are engaged for function...

Answer made easy, the bottom of the steering colomn by the fire wall. and the thick wires are for the netural safty and the smaller wires are reverse.:rolleyes::devil:

Just got mine in today. The neutral safety switch has 12 ga purple and purple/dbl white. The backup lights are 20 ga pink and light green. Just put some spade connectors on some new wire. Plug them into the connectors that were plugged into the white arch of a switch on the top of the column. Run them to the shifter. :)
