1964 GTO reverse lights
I put a 4 speed tranny in my 64 instead of the automatic that was in it. How do I get the back up lights to work? Is there some different linkage that I will need?

they sell a switch either the factory GM one or Hurst sells one that attaches to the shifter base by the linkage. It is real simple it has a hook up for two wires when you put the linkage into reverse the lever goes back and pushes the switch to turn the lights on.

The original switch for the 64 GTO Back-up lights was a "Rotary" type switch where the reverse lever pulled a metal "link" (from the lever to the switch). The switch was activated when the lever rotated turning ON the lights.
The "Push Button" deals might actually work better as the original switches were exposed to a lot of road grime. Most push button deals are somewhat sealed. Good luck with your project. Tom Vaught

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
