The trans wire is for kickdown into "passing" gear. It engages when you floor the accelerator. You can just not hook it up or you need a switch setup. Backup light switch for 68 was on the column. I don't know where it lives on the 65. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 " I was different before people dared to be different" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Marc Merkle" <merkle123@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > Hi Folks, > > I am in the process of converting my 66 american from a 199/T-96 to a 199/BW > automatic from a 68 american.
