[FC] rampy motor

[Western Canada CORSA]

I occasionally ask questions that are obtuse or backwards in an attempt to
get the more knowledagable folks on the list to pipe up.

In this case, the point I was trying to make was that if an FC couldn't be
equipped from the factory with back up lights, in my mind, any tranny in an
FC with a BU switch, is most likely, a car tranny that has been sub'd in at
a later date.

One person has raised the issue of dealer installed BU lights, but even in
this case, I doubt the switch would have been installed in the tranny at the
factory in preparation for the dealer kit.  More knowledgeable folks on
stuff like this (IE Kent Sullivan, etc) feel free to chime in at any time.

Regards,
Joel
