I have a 73 that started life as an automatic, but was converted over to a
four speed, the problem is there is still a nuetral safety switch "hanging"
around, it is hooked up, and I'm afraid if I disconnect the wiring, the car
won't start,,does anyone have any ideas,,,is there an adapter to plug into
the wiring harness to take its place????

Disconnect it from the main harness. That should leave
two plugs that will mate, allowing you to reconnect the
circuit sans switch.

not true 4 speed cars had a plug for backup lights with a jumper to connect
the neutral safety circuit.
you can cut plug off harness (on neutral safety switch side) and connect
the 2 wires together for starter circuit (on 67-68 cars it would be the 2
black /red tracer wires might be the same on later cars .

I'm afraid my response *was* phrased poorly, from trying
to keep it brief. But the point remains: just remove the
circuit interruption (that's what any switch is) and then
reconnect the ends.
