Neutral safety switch

[69tri]

65 coronet. We converted to 4 speed. Also the body guy took off the shifter from the column. Now that we got the engine in it will not crank with the key. I'm thinking neutral safety switch. But I have no idea where it is located. I can jump the starter at the relay and it cranks. Any ideas?

The neutral safety switch grounds the relay
add ground or clutch switch to ground

There is a tab on relay that would go to N/S . You need to ground it. You won't have a N/S so becareful, N/S were first added ti 4 speed car 69 or 70?

Maybe '70. None on my '69.

If you have a little yellow wire on your starter relay going to a male spade connector on the relay (on my 70 & not sure about a 65), the make sure you have 12V going to that wire when cranking.

Thanks everyone. I found the black wire that needs grounded. I know there is a yellow wire. When I get back home today I will try it for sure. I'm sure that's all it is.
