Default Neutral Safety Switch?

Does my 72 4spd have a neutral safety switch?

Where is it, if so and is it hard to replace?

Thanks
Jeff

It should be on the clutch pedal. You must depress the clutch in order for it to start. Two big purple wires go to it. Not the easiest to get to but doable to replace. There is no nuetral switch on. 4 speed car.

There are no improvements for this switch. It is a easy steel switch in a rectangle-shaped real estate that is organized with two fasteners to the shifter procedure. And also very important part of any vehicle.

next to impossible to change without removing the steering column.
