I wish I had a car for spare parts No second gens in any junkyards around here. There's a couple for sale, but I'm not paying $2,000-$3,000 for a parts car, haha. And no, I haven't started on the rust wells yet. Hopefully I can get them at least cleaned up while the engine is out and I'm doing about 13,000 other little things, haha.
Note to self: need to stop posting from my phone. Damned autocorrect gets me every time.

I thought I already asked this, but I guess not. Anyway, the two connectors for the two clutch switches are already wired in and the connectors clipped up and out of the way under the dash. Mostly asking about the clutch safety switch, do I need to do any wiring to the automatic harness or just plug in the safety switch and get going?
I connected the switches to help the explanation a little bit.

Update:
Slow progress, but got the speedo gear on the new diff.
Because the bearing cage was gone, this is how I got it off:
Cleaned up the crushed teeth on the speedo gear. A little flat on top and this on the sides, but I spun the gear in the case against the speedo sensor gear and seems to turn smoothly. Any opions? Use this or get a new one?
They look like they still bbulge out into the valleys between the teeth, but it's just an illusion. They're just flattened.

how wide are the speedo teeth? if they are narrower than the ring it might be an issue, but if they are meshed correctly and are just as wide or wider than the ring i don't think it would be a problem. there isn't a ton of force being put on the teeth like there would be on a cam gear or a transmission gear...sigpic
