no power to purple wire going to solenoid.where does purple wire go. starter will spin over the motor if you put power to solenoid.please help at wits end

Isn't that the wire from the neutral safety switch?

Is this a manual or auto car? Column or floor?

Either way I believe it's the neutral safety switch, check to see if it's ;) loose.

The PPL wire comes out the interior side of the firwall as 14 PPL / DBL W (Purple / Dark Blue & White).

This wire goes to the ignition and has power when the key is turned to start.

D.G. you are right for an M35 car there is a neutral saftey switch. There is no NSF for a 66 manual transmission.

For an M35 car there is a 14 PPL wire that goes to the NSF and a 14 PPL / DBL &W wire that comes back from the NSF and continues to the fire wall junction box.

Lee did you do an tranny swap from a M35 to a manual transmission?

no i bought the 67 to restore cause it had orginal engine and drop top,but this wiring is unreal.it looks like it had a automatic in with nthe shifter on the floor.i really appreciate all the help
