Clutch Start Switch--Location ??? Pic
Wonder if GM was going to have us put the shifter in neutral before the car would start ???

Not the first time a GM Manual has been wrong. Note the text-
Clutch Start Switch Figure 8A-14 On Clutch Bracket
That picture looks like the side of the trans..methinks the tech writer made a boo-boo.
I wonder if that same picture is in the book for the TCS 4th gear switch. Location is correct. Maybe they flipped the pictures?

My 79 TH350 neutral safety switch allowed one to start in either park or neutral - checked it with my ohm meter. Can't read all of the manual page, but suspect the 'neutral safety' was more automatic related (and really neurtral or park). The page does say 'clutch start switch' OR 'neutral safety switch' - think it was one or the other, not both.
I used the wiring for my neutral safety switch to a switch on the clutch pedal to serve as a neutral safety feature when I swapped in a T56 - really wanted a 'no starter engage' unless clutch pedal depressed.
