Does anybody know if a colum shift '59 Impala neutral safety/back up light switch will work on a '59 Catalina? I am wiring up the Catalina for a customer and it has a TH350 instead of the origional Hydramatic. The problem is that the TH350 shift pattern is PRND... and the Hydramatic had reverse in the last spot so, the back up lights will not be in sync with the origional switch on the Catalina.
maybe you could post a picture of the catalina switch, so we can compare? or look at a picture of a Chevy switch and compare yourself? http://bowtieclassicparts.com/main/chevy-neutral-safety-switch-powerglide-1958-1964.html
I bought a Chevy switch on ebay for my Cad column. had to modify it a little but it worked. Look at ebay photos sometimes you can tell.
Basically what you're looking for is a rollover switch that will activate your backup lites when the gear shift is put in the REVERSE position. Check out Lokar's site or Yogi's Hot Rod Shop.
