WTB-TH400 kick down sw & braket for bbc & Qjet

Looking for a kick down sw and bracket for my 68 with 396/auto. Why do people remove these things?

Any help would be much appreciated! Greg.

Greg,
There are two on Ebay... the first one is listed for Chevelle and Camaro.. The only difference between a truck one and this one is the connector on the wiring harness where it attaches to the fuse box.. it has a "buy it now" of $224.00


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-...Q5fAccessories


This one is missing the wiring harness and has a "buy it now" price of $75.00, which is a pretty good deal

Thanks Livrat, I just asked the guy if he will ship to Canada and if the switch was tested.. Will see.

I don't need the harness as the wires are there and the switch isn't. Do you know where and how this mounts?

The switch mounts on the Quadrajet rear drivers side bolt.. and the little bracket bolts to the throttle lever on the carb.. pictures would help.. Unfortunately I do not have any.. maybe someone will chime in with a picture for you..

He seems to have found his, so if anyone else needs this one, just let me know.
Thanks, Frank

Anybody know how to test one of these? I have one but don't know if it's good or not. I wanted to put it on my inline 6 but I don't know how to hook up the wiring. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
