Question 71' Auto (floor) Neutral Safety Switch

HELP!

Anyone know where I can get one of these unicorns? Is it ths same as the ones listed for "column mounted" shifters since that's where it's located?

Thanks!

Yes. The 71-up cars used the column mounted switch even with the floor shifter. You do need to have the backdrive linkage in place for it to work.

Year one has two types listed in their cutlass catalog. Try yearone.com and see if either one is what you need.

I've got in my hand now and yes it does look like the console one. Talked to Year One before and they told me it wasn't the same. Guess they're not always right.

How would I know if I have that? I assume since it's a floor shift already it's there but nothing is for sure it seems with this car.
