<VV> Lakewood Backup Lights

[Frank DuVal]

If the original standard was a three speed, there is a connector in the 
middle of the tunnel where the old back up light switch was installed. 
Look for a two socket connector laying in the tunnel pan. Run both of 
these wires to the switch now located on the powerglide shift lever. You 
can use a chunk of wiring harness out of any powerglide car to connect 
to this switch (after lengthining leads), or just use 1/4" quick 
disconnect style terminals and some tape.

If 4-speed, then the wires are still halfway down the tunnel pan unless 
they left the 4-speed switch harness connected and dangling near the 
transmission!
