<VV> LAKEWOOD SCREWS & powerglide conversion wiring

[N2VZD at aol.com]

they were a chrome finish slotted...(on my 61). i have several somewhere in 
 a drawer from parted out vehicles.. 
 
ALSO on the powerglide conversion , it is not hard to do.  short the  
present backup switch wires with a plug , or get in the tunnel , unplug , and  
carefully scotchlock the wires (or better yet , make a shorted ) at the plug  
that head to the front.  hate to ruin any harness if not needed. the  
neutral safety can be done at the front , if you have a donor car , remove the  
short harness from the main harness plug that goes to the switch and ignition 
,  restore the retaining tabs on the terminals , and plug them into the 
harness,  the wire you removed to do this will plug into the other terminal of 
the  connector on the neutral /backup switch. find the backup wire (i do not 
have the  book in front of me) and do basically the same thing. 
main thing is , you do NOT have to cut or butcher the harness to do the  
conversion. i have done SEVERAL , on FC's and early cars. looking at the  
harnesses you will not find any cut up mess such as i have seen.
i would also head to the nearest alignment shop after getting it back on  
the road..
if you study the diagram in the shop manual , what i just wrote may become  
easier to understand.
these type of jobs are why i save so many  junk harness parts...they  come 
in handy often.
