Starter Interlock Problem

Post by farmtruckman »

Now I have done it. Reassembling the steering wheel to column, now I can't start my 67. Is there a interlock that might have become disconnected while I was putting the wheel back on?

its probably the nuetral safty switch not being properly adjusted. hold the shifter over toward park and try to start it. if it works then you need to readjust the nss oon the bottom of the column. it has a screw in it just loosen it and slide it toward the little bar. you will understand when you see it.

Thanks for the quick response but I already tried that. Where is the safety switch located? I am ready to take off the wheel again and start digging around to see what I did.

You are the man. I obviously disengaged it when fiddling with the shifter while trying to get everything together. I must have shifted it back to park when it was disengaged and then mounted it and the selector missed engaging when the wheel was compressed.

Again, thanks. This forum is awesome. :D
