Default Neutral Safety Switch Adjustment

My reverse lights come on when i am in neutral in my 78 Vette. Is there some way of adjusting the neutral safety switch without throwing out the gears so the light comes on in reverse? New to the scene and only had the vette for 4 months.

You didn't state whether it's auto or manual but here's some help for the adj for an auto. Do a search in this forum if it's stick.

Jud, thanks for that mate. It is an automatic and i had thought about putting it in reverse and playing with the switch but wasn't sure what could happen to the gears if i did (if it would start in gear after playing with it).

You're welcome. I installed a new one in mine and got everything right except wouldn't start in neutral. Maybe it's not supposed to.
