neutral safety switch

Bradley Johnson · 05-27-2020, 09:33 PM

Is anyone running a neutral safety switch at the transmission? I am putting a car together from a rolling chassis I purchased several years back and noticed the wiring for the neutral switch is at the transmission. Upon further inspection, the shifter, which is a very old winters sidewinder has no provisions for the switch kit they sell. This brings up another question. I can fabricate a bracket and ball type switch to trigger off the shift lever but it will only function in park. Is there some advantage or necessity to shutting off the car and coasting to the pits aside from heat? I have seen many doing this with various transmissions,(mine is a powerglide) but in my case, I would have to fully stop and shift into park to re fire the car.

Thanks!
