Wiring

Not my picture, I stole that from Moparts a while back.

The left comb is for a cable shift, so '65 and down. Center is '66-'68. Right is '69 up. That just identifies the NSS part and there may be other nuances that affect how they interchange. I read that the right one is actually a '71 and there's a slight difference in the shift detent between that and a '69-'70. If that makes a difference, I really don't know.

Another question . How many volts runs the dash lamps? I only have have two dim lamps above the dash and want to add led lamps. If I plug the harness across the battery with 194 bulbs, I get nothing. I know they work. If I plug in the 2 led bulbs, the wiring gets hot.

Ok. Pulled pan and I have the correct pawl according to pictures. However the plastic plunger stays pressed in in any position and the small metal tip stays pushed in in every position except in reverse it might move 1/32 of an inch. Can barely see it move. Added some pictures.

Pulled switch and the new Chinese junk is broke. Plastic is stuck in and shorted. Installed new trw and checked continuity and switch works correct if I put my finger in trans and push switch in more. Pawl won't push switch enough.

Something don't add up to me. In reverse I should have continuity. Switch is out more in reverse but if I push it in more I get continuity. In park and other gears I have no continuity which should be right. Bench tested, switch seems to work backwards. How could I get so many bad switches?

Well the pawl or comb is worn out. Looks like someone tried to adjust it in the past and the rivet that holds the foot is loose and the pawl arm looks like someone tried to bend it and prob broke it.
