Default schematic for neutral safety starter switch?

Had what I thought was a heat soaked starter selenoid problem and ended up being a neutral safety starter switch on a 77 L-48 automatic th350.
Does anybody have a schematic or link for one for this switch?
I repaired the switch, but from what I have been reading it should start in park or neutral and currently only starts in park.
Thanks in advance.

FWIW, I replaced this switch on my '76 due to its failure. I tried adjusting it over and over again in an attempt to get the car to start in both park and neutral. Despite my efforts, I could only get it to start in park. Maybe this is how they are designed. Perhaps someone else can shed more light on this. For me, though, just starting in park is fine.

Thanks Jud. Maybe that is the way it is supposed to work i guess. Just can't figure what the other connection in the neutral position is for.
