I did a search and found plenty of threads about where the switch plugs into the tranny, but where does it come from?
I just got finished putting in a new engine (switched to carbs) and now I can't seem to find the plug that goes into the tranny...any leads? |

It goes back to your relay board the 12 pin connector, terminals 2 and 4, should be GY/BN striped wires Hope this helps Tony |

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Group: Members Posts: 2,694 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Massachusetts Member No.: 224 Region Association: None |
The backup light wiring is part of the engine harness which includes the starter solenoid wire, the power and tach wires for the coil and the oil light wire. Swap the harness from the old engine. There will be one wire with a plastic connector on the end that goes unused with carbs.

Thanks Ed....figured that out at about 10pm last night after scratching my head for a while...luckily the old harness is still in good shape and I didn't get rid of it:)
