B&M 81025 CONSOLE QUICKSILVER SHIFTER FOR 1968-1969 CAMARO(AUTOMATIC TH-350 & 400) - Manual (Page 4)

Step 14. Locate and identify the neutral start and reverse
light wires on the stock wiring plug. Cut wires from plug
then strip 1/4" insulation off the wires and lengthen them
with 4-6" of additional wire. Put slip-on terminals on the
end of the lengthened wire. Crimp the terminals onto the
wires using a crimping tool or pliers. Connect the neutral
start wires to the LOWER switch and the reverse light
wires to the UPPER switch. Tape the terminal connec-
tions to prevent shorts. Reconnect the battery ground cable,
disconnect the coil wire and set the parking brake. Check
the switch operation by attempting to start the motor in
each shifter position. The starter must crank only when
shifter is in the Park or Neutral position. Check the
reverse light operation. Adjust the switches if required.
Reconnect the coil wire.
Step 15. Snap the indicator window in place on the chrome
shifter cover (See Figure #6). The window snaps in from
the top with the tabs inserted under the cover. Insert the
black boot into the lip of the chrome cover. Make sure it is
retained on all four sides. Slip the cover over the shifter
handle and fasten it to the console with four (4) 6-32 x
3/4” Phllips screws supplied in the kit. Do not overtighten
the screws or you may crack the cover or strip the threads
in the center console.
Step 16. With the B&M QuickSilver shifter in the Neu-
tral position, check the cable adjustment on the trans-
mission (See Figure #7). If you must raise the vehicle,
use jack stands, wheel ramps or a hoist and make sure
the vehicle is well supported. Remove the cable clip and
pull the cable eyelet off. The eyelet must slide off and on
the pin without binding. If not, adjust the cable pin by
loosening the nut and moving the cable pin until the eye-
let will slide on. Retighten the cable pin nut. Move the
shifter to the First Gear position. (Third Gear on reverse
pattern valve bodies.) Recheck the cable pin to eyelet fit.
Readjust if necessary, and check the Park position. In-
stall the cable clip.
Note: The stock linkage to the steering column must be
left intact or the neutral safety switch, backup light switch,
and column lock will not function.
Step 17. Lower the vehicle. Start the engine and check
the shifter installation. The engine must start in Park
or Neutral only. The backup lights should work in
Reverse only. Turn the lights on and check the indicator
light. If your B&M QuickSilver shifter is not working prop-
erly, do not drive your vehicle. Make certain you have fol-
lowed all instructions. If the shifter is broken or does not
function properly, contact your B&M dealer.
Step 18. Tighten the knob on the handle. You may wish
to use a small amount of Loctite or a similar product on
the threads to keep the knob tight. Position the knob in-
sert and align the B&M QuickSilver name, push down on
the insert to snap it in place.
