Neutral saftey switch

How do I wire around it so it will start in any gear? It's a 78 model Chevy.

Thanks

Connect the purple wires together .. If its an auto they will be on top of the colum Standards are base off clutch pedal being down all the way.

I just looked at the truck again,and there is another plug on the right side that has two smaller wires coming from it they are green/blue,couldn't really see up there in the dark.Anyway,what are they for?

Ok this truck has two sets of wires running to a switch on the bottom of the column I assume this is the neutral saftey,right?
Two big wires,one purple,and one yellow,and two small wires,one green one brown.I placed a wire jumping the 2 big wires together,and one connecting the two smaller wires,and I still have to he-man the shifter to get it to turn over.
I also adjusted the linkage to the tranny,and same thing,will not start unless I pull up on the shifter,and I mean YANK! it towards park.

What am I missing here??

I will start with all the wiring undone from the switch,and no jumpers so apparently the switch isn't the one I need.

Try moving the switch slightly clockwise (looking from the rear) on the column.
