This is my first/last project car to keep forever. Learning as I need to. 429, non tilt wheel, auto on the wheel. Starts when I hold the gear shift just right but doesnt stay running. Next step. Fuel pump, maybe

Thats a fairly simple procedure. Make sure the car is in Park. It would also help to disconnect the battery first too. Look under the steering column about halfway down or so you will see a black (could also be an off-white color) shaped 1/4 round or similar to a half-moon shape. It is bolted or screwed to the column and will have an electrical plug(connector) and a couple wires going to it. Just unplug the connector, unscrew the screws that hold it in place(making sure of the way it is mounted and the way the button that sticks out of it is touching the slot on the column. and drop the old switch down and out, reverse procedures to install new one. hook up your battery and you should be good to go. Good Luck, Kenny.
when you install the new neutral switch on a 1964 ford thunderbird on the steering column is there any adjustment to the switch it self other then the placement of the two mounting holding screws only the position of the switch
after installing the switch on the steering column is there any other adjustment on the switch only the position of the switch and the two mounting screws
