Default '86 backup lights

Proud first time owner of one of these babys so I am new to the maintenance. My backup lights don't work. Can anybody tell me where the backup light switch is before I tear into the car? It has a 4+3 manual tranny. Also, the neutral safety switch is not functional either. Any assistance locating these two items would be greatly appreciated. Garry

The backup switch is on the left-hand side of the tranny. I think it is gray in color and can still be purchased from GM. The neutral safety switch is located right by the clutch.

Welcome to the Forum.
You will have lots of fun here and in your Vette.
Also, you will want to buy a GM manual and post some pics of your car.
What color is it?
Great year
Fred

It is silver (repaint a couple of years back) and it is running a ZZ4 crate. Fastest car I've ever owned. I never thought that a car could bring so much excitement just from sitting in it let alone opening it up on a quiet road!!!!!

Thanks. Good thing I asked. I was gonna tear open the console to begin my search on the shift linkages. I used to be a Ford (forgive me) guy so I am still learning to get around Chevy equipment.
