Change your neutral safety switch to a 3 terminal and change to a 3 terminal connector. Run 12 volt to pin 1 and connect pin 3 to backup lights.

If I'm not mistaken on the floor shift cars no matter whether they are standard or auto trannys have the switches mounted on the tranny as a shift lever activates them. What transmission do you currently have? Column or floor shift?

Hey, maybe I'm missing something here, but aren't all you looking for is the line to your reverse lights? Doesn't the shifter you have contain built in nuetral and reverse light switches. If so, would you not be by passing the nuetral safety switch on your tranny and wiring them to your shifter instead? There should be a plug coming off of your nuetral safety switch on your tranny. That plug will contain the wires you are looking for. Carry out a continuity check to determine the correct wires for your shifter switch connections. Do you have the instructions for the shifter handy? http://www.bmracing.com/bmracing/installation_instruction/7.pdf

The older cars had the back up light switch on the top of the base of the steering column. Not on the trans. He wants do away with the switch on the column and go to the one in the shifter. On the later cars you don't need to do this beacuse the back up lights work through the trans switch. Also you can't just change from a single terminal switch to a three prong switch because the cockscomb on the valve body is different and won't work.

From the interior it would be on the firewall about 12 inches above the accelerator pedal. It goes thru the fire wall as stated. From the engine compartment side it would look like this. click for larger picture Disregard the arrows I believe on this pictured car it is the black and purple wires coming out the top (stick car). This is not a 68 coronet, but the connector location is similar and depending on how it was plugged into the firewall I guess the connector could be on the top or the bottom.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.
