The pre-1955 NSS's had ring-tongue terminals at the NSS start "enable" terminals. Trace those two wires up to the main wiring loom and locate the "bullet" connectors on those two red wires. Pull the wiring at both bullet connectors off and connect the two wires coming from the dashboard together with one of the rubber coated connectors. This completes the circuit.
BUT if you do this, the car will start in ANY gear. So make sure your gear select lever is in neutral before starting.
Repair or replace that lever that has the actuating pin at the base of the steering column, then reconnect your NSS wiring as it was originally and you are back in business.
Bypassing the NSS should only be done as an emergency fix to get you back home from the boondocks.
