Re: Problem with Neutral Start Switch Set-up

[Don Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

A 4 speed starter relay does not have a lead for a neutral start wire.  
Messing with the factory set-up in the other '65 Satellite with the 
original 65 727, it only starts in Park, not neutral.  I guess that's 
correct.

I think I'll study the discussion in the 62-65 tech section and apply 
those set-up methods.  If I have to drop the tranny pan, so be it.  
Shouldn't lose too much blood (tranny fluid.)
