I bought a 1965 Mustang Electrical Assembly Manaul, but it dont mention the color of the individual wires and what they do. Anyone know of a manual that details the wiring instructions?

Heck yea

Thats pretty cool, answered my question I had quick. Trying to bypass the starter neutral safety switch, looks like I can just go around it and complete the circuit, sound right anyone?

I tried that on my 67 but it didn't work; maybe you will have better luck.

Never had to try that since my car is a stick shift, but looking at the diagram it looks like you should be able to bypass the switch no problem, since that switch is the only difference between the auto and stick wiring.

as Rusty said...that will work. they should be red/blue according to the chart. I ran mine back through the firewall past a rubber grommet so they don't short, to a switch under my dash. I just have to remember to flick it to start my car.

A switch to start the car.....

I actually like that idea, could prevent a theft rather easily.
