Painless neutral safety switch connect?

[bronco italiano]

My buddy has the older 435NP trans (no NSS) and the two painless wires #919.
Do I just connect both wires together since the trans has no NSS?
Little confusing as the painless diagram shows one wire going to the "S" on the starter solenoid.

-Also, does anyone know where I can get the pigtail for the 435NP reverse switch?
Novack site doesn't seem to have any

Thanks in advance

Yes.
It there was a NSS it would connect both wires together, when auto trans in P or N.
Manual transmission has no NSS, so they must be permanently connected so the starter relay will engage.
From page 27 of manual:

Oldtimer I am very electrical idiot.
-I have the two 919 wires coming from the main harness. If I connect one to the Solenoid I only have one left for the plug to NSS. That picture is what is messing with my old brain (besides being electrically deficient).
-Do both wires from the harness just go to the NSS pigtail ?
Thank you

I think you are talking these two wires?

Taken from page 74 of manual.

It appears the painless harness has two loose wires with no connector, and maybe some pigtail connectors to be added?
Since you have no NSS, and you dont need a pigtail to plug into it, I would splice the two wires together with the type of splice painless uses.

So it ends up like this:

Awesome Oldtime
That is what I was thinking but the previous diagram showing the wire going to the "S" post threw me off.

Thank you

I’m looking to restore NSS functionality in my 74 as the PO did a Painless rewire but never connected the NSS harness to anything. I can start in any gear and I have no reverse lights. I figured out the reverse lights but want to make sure I understand the NSS wiring.

Right now I have the starter terminal wire (A) from my ignition switch going directly to the S terminal on my starter solenoid. The NSS is completely bypassed. To restore NSS, I think I would take the ignition switch starter wire to one of the blue/red wires on the NSS wiring harness. Then the other NSS blue/red wire (looback) routes back to the S terminal on the solenoid.

The other challenge I’m facing is sourcing the other half of the harness! It’s a four pin square connector with two male and two female terminals. I suppose I could always repin with a different harness but I don’t have much wire to work with. Does anyone know where I might find a mate for this harness?

This may plug into the NSS connector?

Yes, indeed that’s the one. Thank you for finding this!! I searched high and low but came up empty.

Instead of connecting those two NSS wires together, you could install a clutch safety swiitch so that it accomplishes the same thing with the clutch depressed. Not difficult to make an L bracket and drill a hole for a depress switch, that goes against the pedal arm.

Sorry I failed to mention my 74 has a c4 trans so no clutch.
