Stop light switch  
Hi Joe.

On a 79 B, under the hood there is a big black box covering the tops of the pedals.  The switch is screwed into the outside of the box.  It has two green wires going into it.

Sometimes the switch needs replacing, sometimes it merely needs adjusting.  The amount by which it is screwed in is the only adjustment.
