On manual transmission cars the neutral safety switch wire becomes a loop since no safety switch is required (auto trans do have this requirement and a different harness).
The loop is red/blue. The backup light switch itself is black/red.
However, I have two leads and I'm not sure which one is the correct plug style for my 67. One of these black plugs is just square -- the other has a lot of extra heft for no apparent reason.
The one with the larger plug (pins are the same spacing on both) has a smaller diameter wire on the b/u and neutral wires.
In the pic below I plugged one into the other for stability while I took a pic, so ignore that.
I suspect one of these is for an earlier car.
Help identify these if you would.

The larger plug is later like a C9 or service part.

Thanks Marti.
My car had been modified with a Hurst so some parts were missing.
-
All earlier plugs prior to 1967 were two pin affairs with separate plugs for NSS and BU lights.

The one used on the assembly line has a C7ZB-D sticker and has the smaller plug. The service part is C7ZZ and is more common. Both are on eBay right now.

Thanks Royce.
I liked the -D version well enough to buy it.
I'll re-assemble the one I just plated after I get the car done.
As I noted before, the one that was on the car was hacked up due to the Hurst install and I need to move on with other parts rather than futzing with this one right now.

You ought to watch that particular vendor. Last month they had a number of original Autolite vacuum advance units that I snagged. I think they have access to some very old stock.
