Gerard:
Just checked my handy dandy BL Workshop manual, which now that I'm on the
list, I keep next to the computer just for trivia questions like these.
Section Nb page 12. Seat belt warning lamp and buzzer gear box switch,
fitted on cars from GAN5-123731 in conformity with local and territorial
requirements (read "North America") 1972-onward. Wiring diagram #13 and 14.
It shows as item #201. Seems like your transmission actually came out of a
later car.
