Re: reverse light/tranny swap

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

What I would do in this situation is just use the several-pin style connector
(get one from somewhere) and connect the right wires into your wiring harness
in the car. Get an ohmmeter and find out what two wires get connected together
when you put the car in reverse, and then you'll be all set. Just connect those
two wires to the two wires that went to the other style switch.
    I'm sure there are other ways to do it, too.
