<VV> Wire question

[corvairduval at cox.net]

You answered your own question. These are the back up wires. "In the
beginning" there was a three speed tranny. It had no built in switch for
back up lamps. The switch was in the tunnel and operated by the shift rod.
Therefore the wires to the switch exited the harness mid tunnel. The four
speed switch came with about 4 feet of wire to connect the switch to this
mid tunnel plug, as this switch was mounted in the bottom of the tranny.

PG cars had a different harness. Manual shift cars used the same harness
for both 3 and 4 speed options.

The 66 and later changed the harness, as now both 3 and 4 speed trannys had
switches in the tranny itself.

Subject: <VV> Wire question


I just keep finding more and more interesting (weird?) stuff on this 
car.  In the tunnel of my '65 Monza coupe, there are two wires coming 
out of the main bundle about 18" behind the shifter. One is green and 
the other is black/light green. No connector, just two wires about 6" 
long. According to the wiring diagram, the B/LG could be the reverse 
lights (but this wire is 4 feet from the transmission)... could anybody 
shed some light as to what these wires are? And on the same subject, 
where do the wires for the B/U light switch on the tranny come from? I 
can't find any on the harness... Thanks in advance for any help you can 
provide.
