Reverse lights are alway on with key in the "on" position
My 68 442 4 speed as the following issue: with the key in the "on" position the "reverse" lights stay on permanently. How do I fix the situation? Is there a "connection" problem? Any help would be great.

Trans bkp lites switch link may have fallen off, or perhaps your shift fork lever is not coming all the way out of R when using other gears.
In order for Reverse Lights to be on I believe the lights have to be on, and the switch controlled by the lever on the trans has to be in the ON position. Not sure on the lights switch part- check your service manual wiring diagram.

My 67 is like he mentioned, ignition switch on there will be power to reverse lights. I am not sure if this is correct but it is the way mine works with factory harness.

Ignition on "OFF" reverse lights are off.
With the ignition on the "OFF" position if I turn the lights on the "Reverse light" don't come on. It's only with the ignition in the "ON" position that the "Reverse lights" stay on all the time.

I'd suggest the problem is in the neutral start and backup switch position.

Switch broken / jammed
Switch fell off and dangling
Switch misadjusted / linkage problem
Short somewhere in wiring (much less likely).
No big deal. Go look at your switch and see if it's being properly moved by the shift mechanism.
