It was recommended that RAuto part NS18 (NOpen)was the correct ball switch for the job and it will work but you don't get to put in the original 1967 location. It is possible to do this job right/stock if you locate the proper switch a (NC)one would do the trick however RAuto does not carry them so the price is 3 times as much.
The theory behind having the shift rod pressing on the switch 99.9% of the time doesn't sit well with me anyway. So to me it makes more sense and it's cheep! $8.10 NS18 switch
Pics have location measurements. Drill to 1/2" and tap to 9/16 x 18
Once the cover is off the trans it's a 30 min job. Hope the pictures help. Ken
