Could anyone give me some guidance on how to wire a T5's reverse and neutral safety switch wires? I'm putting the t5 in my 66 and haven't been able to figure out what gose where. A diagram or soemthing similar would be immensely appreciated...

Are you SadbutTrue from the TFC Catacombs boards long ago? I think he had a 66 coupe as well.

And if you are its Nitroduck. From long ago.

The NSS is only needed if you are using the EFI from an 86-93 Mustang. It has nothing to do with the starter.

Remember to check the ignition switch, neutral safety switch on auto trans and the clutch safety switch on manual trans cars. If they are good, then you have wiring problems.
Typical start circuit...

The reverse light switch is on the side of the T5. It has two screw studs on it that fit a push on connector.
