Neutral Safety Switch

[hemirr]

Having trouble locating the correct two prong neutral safety switch for my 68 Charger.  All I find is the three pin for 69 and up.  Any ideas ?

I'm new at this but, 69 had a 3 prong switch.  1 wire for neutral,2 wires for backup lamps.  I think 68 is 1 wire for neutral ( and I have a original spare for sale  ) and the backup lamps were off the console shifter switch.

68 doesnt have 2 prongs it has 1 stud with a nut.

You know the one I have.  But mine is a single pin, not a stud?  Or am I thinking the wrong switch?  The trani switch correct?

ok went and looked at the harness that came of the car and sure enough it was altered to have a two prong switch (from what ,who knows ?)  So after looking at the three spare transmisions I have in my shop, two have three prong and one has a single wire.  So I assume I have to have the single wire?

Yep.  And I thought I had a sale.

So now the big question, from the switch does the harness go up and connect to the terminal on the stater relay?  Where can I get an original style harness ?

Wait a minute here!

Is your car a 4 speed or an auto?

Not that I like to admit it, but I got mine at Year One.  Get ready for high shipping charges with them.  There are other places that make the harness.
On the 69, yes they go from the switch up the booster side of the fender well, over the booster wire hose clamp, to the starter realy tab and to a v shaped connector on the top bulk harness connector. Got me on 68, but Brian knows that stuff well.

Bill Evans has the correct harness.

Bill Evans has the correct harness.

Problem I had with his was he doesn't have the 2 wire connector for the 69, so he gives you the male prongs to stick straight into the bulk head connector.  I wanted the original look, and YO had it.

my car is an automatic. Looking at the wire diagram it shows a connection to the starter relay.  I think that since the backup light switch is on the shifter, that is the only hook up, correct?

Yes you should have a one pin(stud) neutral saftey switch, that runs to the starter relay......all this switch does is create a ground.

Evans may have have it now, at least I think I saw the correct ones (both 68 and 69) at his booth at a swap meet a month ago.

[hemirr]

Yep I see it on their web site.  I have the connectors and wire so I think I will just make one up myself, try to save a few dollars.  I really appreciate the help I was a little confused there for a minute.

There is no "harness", it's just a single brown colored wire with a ring connector at the NSS and a spade terminal in a plastic cover at the relay.

The '64-'68 single terminal NSS is hard to find an pricey when found, try Brad's NOS Parts.

[Corellian Corvette]

John is correct.

Found the switch here. Great deal, too

You can get the backup lamp switch from BEA parts.

Whether you call it a harness or a wire with a connection at either end, Evans still sell one already made up in the correct length with the connection devices attached.

[hemirr]

Do you still have that neutral switch?  As it turns out the one I had is DOA

I think I need a new neutral safety switch for my 69 charger with torqueflite automatic. Any recommendations on best place to buy one? It's the three prong plug. Year One?  I've seen some other places mentioned.

harness are available from end to end at several places ( mentioned )

Switch is Standard NS-11... Rockauto has them

Just the plug with pigtail is also available around, from same harness sellers ( already mentioned ) and also they float on ebay easilly... or used to be. Can't recall if Rockauto got them too... usually regular parts shops got them available on pigtail fixing provisions
