EFI swap

I installed a 86 Camaro tpi 305 into my 1980 ElCamino with a Painless Performance wire harness. Can anyone recomend a combination park neutral - backup light switch that works with my '80 steering column shifter? Right now I am using the Camaro switch which has no pinouts for reverse lights. The switch that PP recomends is a 86 Monty w/EFI but that won't install on my column. Thanks in advance. how 'bout links to a good GM EFI site.

Why not use your original switch?

Here's some EFI Info

the EFI system needs a park neutral ground switch to the ECM. That switch replaces the reverse light sw. on the column of the el camino.

The OEM back-up lamp switch is mounted on the lower part of the steering column, the neutral safty switch is mechanical, built in to the shift mechanism to prevent starting in positions other than park/neutral.
