Re: What does this switch do on my trans?

Ray,
The switch on the "remote control housing" is for a neutral safety switch.  
The cars from somewhere around 72 I believe up to 76 had this.  There was a 
light on the console that I believe said "NEUTRAL" ( I can't remember) or 
something like that.  The intent was to let you know when the car was in 
neutral for starting, etc.  At any rate, that is the way it is set up on my 
73.  This switch position may have been used for spark control on later cars, 
but I can't seem to remember that at the moment, either.
