Now, I am sure someone will eventually correct me on this...... But I think I read somewhere that the pre-87 cars didn't have the clutch lockout feature on the manuals.
I could be wrong. But I thought that on the 84-86 manuals, that microswitch was only used on the cruise control system as a disconnect.

I didn't think it was relevant, but now I do.
I have another question, when the gas gauge reads close to empty I fill it up until it stops at ten gallons, but the owners manual says nineteen gallons is the capacity. Also, it has a dual gauge but when the main gauge reads less than quater of a tank, the sub-gauge doesn't read anything. Is it just a faulty gas gauge or am I not letting it get low enough?
