Terry,

I have an original NOS neutral safety switch that is correct for the 1961 Corvette PG if you are still looking.

My dad found that the one on his car is still good.

I am 84 and have my 4 speed since Nov 62. As long as your ol man can stand up and move his legs, tell him I said to go for the 4 speed and "man it" Regards, and good luck to him (and me) Abe G

I have a 61 that was a power glide car and I was researching what appeared to be a horn relay screwed to the firewall overtop the starter motor, because I had no idea what it was and there is only 1 wire attached to it. I'm guessing it's the neutral safety switch that was left on when the transmission was switched. It appears to have 2 tabs for wires. Is this thing worth anything? I saw on this forum that people were trying to find them.

See if the number 904 is stamped on the bracket. I just sold a nice used one that worked for $75. A 904 should have three tabs.

What you have is not a neutral safety switch. That is mounted on the transmission and connected to the shifter linkage. There was a starter relay on the firewall. I will look up that part number when I get home later. The 1961 NSS was a "one-off" and they can be hard to find.

I removed it from the car today. It has 3 wiring terminals and the number 904 on the mount

There the same on all 53 to 61

That what I've got. Is it worth putting on EBay? I have no idea if it works

There is a guy identified in this thread, John Pirkle, who is said to rebuild them. I have seen re-build vendors at shows as well so it may be worth something even if it does not work.

Just to close out the NSS topic, that part number is 1993520 and it is unique to 1961. It has a "U" shaped bracket and a bell crank. One wire only......and it is a bit#* to install. Photo attached.

Think you mean 62 aluminum PG 53 to 61 are cast iron PG

Sorry, but no. Pictured NSS came off a 1-owner 1961 with 34K original miles, matching numbers etc. It was last registered in 1965. It has a cast iron PG.

I put a NOS part on the car to replace it. Part # 1993520 is printed on the box and matches the part number and illustration in the 1961 assembly manual. Pictured item is definitely a 1961 NSS for a cast iron PG. Pretty darn sure it was unique to 1961 but I can verify that when I get home and look at manuals.

I have attached some better pictures of the 1961 NSS and a page from the Assembly Instruction Manual. That drawing is dated 5/9/1960. Part #1993520 is printed on the Delco box and "520" is stamped on the part.

Thanks and sorry ,dint know! never owned a 61-62

leaston78

No problem....it just happens to be the one thing I had to spend some time researching to get the beast to run I think they made the transmission tunnel narrower in 1961 to accommodate wider seats so they had to change the NSS. It is very difficult to replace with the transmission installed.

BTW, I like your hood ornament

Larry,
If you still have the NOS neutral safety switch for a 1961 Corvette powerglide transmission, how much are you asking for it?

Do you realize this is a six year old thread?

Larry's post about the switch was from 9 years ago, and he has not logged on since last year. You might try a PM.
