Reverse Lights
Okay I’m working on getting little odds and ends fixed and one is the reverse lights. On the wiring diagram that I have has power coming from the ignition switch thru the neutral safety switch which has a set of contacts in it for the reverse lights then it goes to a reverse light switch which goes nowhere another there’s a plug but it’s not connected to anything it’s just hanging off the side of the fender. Please someone explain to me why there is 2 switch in the reverse light circuit rather than just use the neutral safety switch as the only one.

Probably because Ford didn't want to have 2 wiring harnesses for AT and MT's. MT's have a reverse switch on the transmission, and don't have a neutral safety switch. The clutch pedal switch didn't happen until the late 80's I believe.
