I don't have the '79 manual. In the '76 manual the last step under "Automatic Linkage Adjustments" for the F series is to "Verify neutral start switch adjustment. Error must not exceed 1/8 detent."

1973/77: The NSS is located on the steering column.

1978/79: The NSS is located on the transmission.

I left the shifter as was, as it lined up nicely already, installed new NSS switch and it all works
