Since last weekend, I've been wondering why the starter didn't engage upon hookup of the battery, and then I sort of remember that I didn't have the seat belt fastened..
Can someone give me a refresher on the seat belt / engine disable on a '74... |

Just for the edification, the seatbelt interlock system simply ensures that IF there is a weight in the passenger seat, their seatbelt must be latched before the engine will start.
But Mike is absolutely right on the bypass trick. |

Well. OK then. I didn't have the seat sensor hooked up, and the fasten seat belt light / buzzer didn't go off either.. .
Its been awhile since I drove my car... |

I did not realize your seat belt warning system actually works. I've never seen one working...
