RE: neutral safety switch (WAS: no subject)

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Condolences on your mom....

There was some discussion here in the past on this. It was reported that 
the new style switch does not work on a 1962 to 1965 Torqueflite.
Apparently the new switch goes too far into the case and limits movement 
of the tang on the manual lever on the valve body.

The one-post switch shows up at times on ebay as a used or now item.
You can also check with Pat Blais Transmissions, listed on the vendor's 
page. http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/restore2003.html
