Default 63 Automatic Neutral Safety Switch

Anyone have a picture of one? Or can someone help me figure out where it is on a 63? I am familiar with a 65-67 NSS, It goes down by the shifter. I think mine is next to the front left side of the transmission. There is a small cylinder with two purple wires I think for the NSS, and two other wires I think is the back up switch, purple and green.
Thanks George
Please PM if you can help.

George:

Here's a photo of an NOS switch for cars without backup lamps. I do not have a photo of one for a car with backup lamps:



Here's a copy of the AIM showing how it all mounts:



Here's a photo of mine mounted on my early '64. Notice that the linkage connecting it to the transmission bellcrank is missing in this photo:



Here's a photo of the linkage and swivel that I mentioned was missing from my car. These are NOS GM parts, but Long Island Corvette sells repros:



I hope this helps.

Hello Jalopy31
Thanks a bunch.+ now I should be able to figure out the rest of the story. My switch is missing the NSS rod, thus I could n ot figure how the shifter linkage attached to the rod.
THANKS AGAIN
GEORGE

Default Rebuild Kit

Great post jalopy. This would have been VERY useful last spring when I was troubleshooting mine. I can find none used available on the net after exhaustive searches. Does anyone know of a rebuild kit or rebuild service where I can send mine in? I'm in Las Vegas, so I'd like to take it in here if anyone knows of a shop that can rebuild. Thanks!

If you buy Mark's switch, you can get the rod from Long Island Corvette - they make those.
