Back up light switch Location
Working on my '63 three speed manual monza ,getting all the lights to work and am unsure as to the location of the back up light switch. I read that it is in the tunnel , but where in the tunnel?? Is it in the rear near the engine, or in the front under the driver? Thanx in advance.

Re: Pulling right and left
I have completely redone every wheel station, removed all brake parts,cabinet blasted everything,honed wheel cylinders and adjusted everything and they work great with no dragging.

Re: Pulling right and left
Yes...i noticed the pittman arm bushing is quite worn so i will replace it and as to the side bearing sleeves, i marked them and counted the revolutions to reinstall them...only way to replace the O rings.
