what do i need to wire up the b&m hammer shifter ones

Did you try a search? It's been discussed many times.

well how do i take apart the column to get to it

142 results when you search "neutral safety switch"
That's what it's for, every question anyone could ask has already been answered.
If your car is column shift, it's at the bottom of the column.

a column shift has the reverse lights at the base of the column. it mechanicaly locks out the nutrual safty feature. you need to goto the ignition swith wireing and find the wire that goes to the starter solinoid. snip it and splice in wires going to the new shifters switch.

but how do i get the cover off the column

how do i get to the innards of the column

You don't need to take the cover off, it's at the bottom of the column just past where it bolts to the dash, it's a black banana shaped thing.

do i need t take off the plastic cover at the bottom of the dash where it bolts to the dash and that metal cover under that

Look around under there, you'll see it. It has a bunch of wires going to it.

Yes, I have 2, 73's, and they are both the same switch (backup & neutral).
Open the drivers door, get down on your knees, look at the steering column where it goes under the dash, right at the end of the corrugated (collapasible) section, you'll find it on the top of the column.

ok thank you i located it but how do i wire it to my b&m neutral safety and reverse lights switches up
i have a hammer shifter
