While we are on the topic, I have a quick question regarding the NSS 
connection to the relay on my '64 Fury.  My original trans is long gone, 
as is most of the wiring, but I am assuming there was a separate lead 
that went from the NSS on the trans to the starter relay?  I have a new 
dash harness and engine harness installed, but neither appear to have a 
wire for the NSS ground terminal on the relay.
