4 speeds have no neutral safty switch. some had a switch on the clutch pedal but I'm not sure whe nthey started it... you can either jump the extra lead on the starter relay to gound (the one that runs to the tranny not the one that runs to the ign switch). or buy a 4 speed starter relay. The 1st solution is the cheapest duster.

The factory four speed starter relay has the "G" terminal grounded to the case, until they started using the clutch pedal switch. This was stopped after some time, too. Ground the terminal and ALWAYS start with the trans in nuetral and your left foot on the brake. This will save your thrust bearing.
