Relocating of the Neutral Safety Switch

It's not that some of us don't like it, it comes down to the "safety" part. If you've ever been trapped between a garage wall and a car that was started in gear because the neutral safety switch" was wired around, you will see the need for this switch. Maybe you should try another brand, or check to see if the ones you've bought were made by a reputable manufacturer.

I second your thoughts. I bought my son a Hot Rod "55 Chevy with a 396 motor many years back. His engine died at a friend's house so i had to go help. My son had parked his Chevy about 3 ft behind another car out on the curb. We hadn't had the Chevy very long so I didn't know much about it. My son and I were standing in front of the car looking under the Chevy hood for loose wires and such. Then I asked my son's friend to try and start the engine. Now, don't ask me why, but for some unknown reason both me and my son just happened to walk from in front of the car to the driver's door right about the time my son's friend hit the ignition switch. Someone, probably my young son, had left the car in gear. The damn car leaped forward and the front bumper slammed against the car that was parked in front of it.
I could just imagine me and son trapped with both our knees broken. Those old Chevys had heavy duty steel bumpers not like today's plastic cr@p!!!! As soon as I got the car home I hooked up a NSS. Had I known about the missing switch when I bought the car I would have never let my son drive it.

The moral of the story is that if anyone else (who is not familiar with your car) ever drives your car...they could be in for a very painful experience!!
