Need Help Quick-Tranny Swap

Hey guys I am doing the Auto -> t5 swap on my 91 Z28 (350) and I got it almost complete. I read in the tech article that the reverse switch light wires were just taped under the dash but as far as I see this is incorrect. It looks from my repair manual that it is actually one of the wires that comes off of the automatic shifter connector/wire harness. Do any of you guys know which wire it is (either which position in the harness or color of wire) that I need to splice into to get the reverse lights to work when I put the tranny in gear? Any help on how to find the reverse wire would be greatly apriciated so I can drive the car home. Thanks in advance, Steven.

Steven,
I don't know it off the top of my head but I will check back when I get home tonight and if you have not received and answer I can help you.

Good luck. These cars are a blast to drive with the manual. Fun factor went way up for me.

The reverse light wires should be dark blue and light green.

Good luck!

you were right, awesome, thanks man, drove it home and its a whole new car. Now all I have to do is figure out how to change the PROM so its a little less punchy at low RPM.
