I have a 66 Chevelle with PG automatic/floor shifter. Went to crank it this morning and had nothing- no click or anything. All other electrical components are still getting power. I suspect the NSS is goofy but I'm not sure where to find it. I was going to bypass it temporarily to see if it would start.

Can't wait to get my hands on a FSM!

Thanks!

:confused:i would look on the steering column by (inside) the firewall for the switch, i've bypassed them by unplugging them and using a jumper wire with spade terminals.
by the way WTH is a FSM:confused:
:mad:sorry my reading, missed the floor shifter :o

FSM= factory service manual.

NSS= Neutral Safety Switch ;)

On our 67 Chevelle original 283, PG, Floor/Shift with console the NSW is under the floor console. I had the same problem for a while and kept looking for a PG floor shift NSW and could not find one. It was just a something thing, then I took the time and removed the console and cleaned the connections and I have had no trouble since then. I did find a new NSW on Ebay and got it but I have not had to use it. The area on top of the transmission collects a lot dust and dirt.
hope this helps. by the way if you remove the switch watch how it's bolted on for certain clearences.

I jumped the switch and she cranked right over. Just gotta find a new one now...

Watch ebay! Every now and then, one is auctioned off. It is about $50 bucks.;)

Were manual trans 66's equipped with a NSS?

Very good information. I'll see if cleaning the contacts does any good. I really don't want to spend the dough on a new switch because I think a TH350 or 700R4 will take the place of the PG very soon.

Thanks again!
