Remove shaded
portion of lever
cated on the transmission (or on the
steering column on some early ve-
hicles). It will be necessary to hook up
the Neutral safety/Backup light
switches on the B&M shifter. Locate
and identify the Neutral safety wires
(the engine will not crank unless these
wires are connected together), and
Reverse light wires. Disconnect Bat-
tery ground cable before beginning to
wire the Neutral safety and Reverse
light switches. Reroute the wires to
the B&M shifter . Check the instruc-
tions for your shifter to see which
switch is used for which application.
Strip 1/4" insulation off wires and in-
stall supplied slip-on terminals. Crimp
terminals onto wires using a crimping
tool or pliers. Connect the Neutral
safety wires to the Neutral safety
switch and the Reverse light wires to
the Reverse switch. Tape terminal
connections to prevent shorts. Re-
connect battery ground cable, dis-
connect coil wire and set the parking
brake. Check switch operation by at-
tempting to start motor in each shifter
position. The starter must crank only
when shifter is in the Park or Neu-
tral position. Check Backup light
operation when the shifter is shifted to
the Reverse position. Adjust switches
if required. Reconnect coil wire.
Note: Sharp bends will kink and damage cable.
