<x-charset iso-8859-1>> I hope someone can enlighten me -I had the Speedo out on my 68 Automatic fastback & there is an unusual black 'pickup' mounted on the back of the Speedo (The speedo cable goes into this pickup which is screwed on the back of the Speedo) I has 2 wires coming from it which lead into the wiring harness. I cannot find it on my wiring diagrams. > It's an optional reverse switch, although I don't know why that would be on a '68? Normally it one wire to a live fusebox terminal (like the radio fuse position) and one wire that travels back to the reverse light on the rear bumper. I had one on my '63 Notchback, German dealer-installed in 1964. The live connection was stupid because the reverse light would stay on sometimes unless you rolled the car forward a little after using reverse, which probably explains why it was disconnected when I bought the car. I swapped it so it only worked when the key was in the 'on' position.
