ArdWrknTrk Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I found a Ford green gear with the same tooth count and ordered it. I have not crawled up to peer into the tranny to see the internal gear. I guess I will see after it's installed how the speedo behaves. While I was removing the speedo cable from the tranny I noticed two wires from a plug on top of tranny that were cut and the matching wires hanging down. I assume these are the "shift" light on the dash connections? What gearbox? Probably the reverse light switch. (Do you have functional backup lights?)

JG2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 What gearbox? Probably the reverse light switch. (Do you have functional backup lights?) That I do not know! I am in the process of replacing all the rear bulb sockets. They are garbage. It's a 4 speed transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 That I do not know! I am in the process of replacing all the rear bulb sockets. They are garbage. It's a 4 speed transmission. I don't know which 4-speed and what the plug looks like, but you might try jumpering the wires together and see if the reverse lights have power. You say you're replacing them. You might consider the Bricknose lights. They have a wraparound backup light. They fit the same, but have a more smooth appearance. So that might put the purist off. But I think visibility is better. I use TYC lights front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Voltura Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Looks nice! Thanks guys. Also got the EFI working, just have to fix the throttle cable. No more hesitation, finally have full throttle range and I've never heard that 351 run so smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzFace2 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 That I do not know! I am in the process of replacing all the rear bulb sockets. They are garbage. It's a 4 speed transmission. If it is a granny first 4sp then it would be the back up light switch that is up top. Here is a T18 and it is the red thing to the rear of the top cover. On a NP435 it is a little forward from that point. I want to say the wires are black & purple but could be wrong? If you short the 2 together and turn the key on the B/U lights should come on if everything is ok. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
