neutral safety switch is on the side of the tranny where the linkage meets the trans. it should be the only wires going to the transmission on that vehicle. adjustment is like the brake light switch. hope this helps

It may be ion the bottom of the column near the firewall. It has slotted holes where it mounts so it can be adjusted.

In 78 the NSS was moved to the side of the transmission on an automatic.
I'm pretty sure the Manual NSS was also moved down there
