Backup light switch wiring

[Dennis S.]

Now that I have the tunnel insulation, engine and transmission installed, can somebody tell me where the backup switch pigtail goes? In other words, does it go underneath the insulation?

It does not install under the insulation.

Dennis,
If you have the 67 Assembly Manual on page G399 (A2.5) you can see the back-up harness as it attaches to the speedo clip. There may be other pictures of it in the A2 section so you might check it out.

My car is a '69 so I looked thru the '69 AIM and can see where the pigtail is probably held by the clip on the driver side firewall, the one that holds the speedo cable as it leaves the firewall grommet. That looks like where it is going to hang. Thanks.

Oops, sorry Dennis. I had a brain fart, didn't even notice your yellow 69 in your avatar!! Wasn't sure what the 69 AIM shows.

Quite all right. I found a small empty clip a little lower on the firewall, right where the tunnel starts. I knew that clip protruded thru the insulation for a reason. I am sure that is where the pigtail gets supported.
