I'm missing the kickdown switch and bracket. I saw an Oldsmobile switch for sale but I don't know if it will fit. Is it the same or close enough? Does anyone have a close up photo of the kickdown switch and quadrajet bracket as it applies to the TH400 equipped bird?

If you don't mind having custom parts on your car "Lokar" has a very good switch assembly that mounts on your Transmision.

As Mike says the Lokar Is easy to install and works great. Good luck on finding the switch that works. The brackets a lot easier to find. Bill

I found an olds switch, new old stock. It worked beautifully but I couldn't tell how it mounted. I didn't see a threaded fastner at the end like I see in Jim's photo. Thanks Jim, I couldn't recall where I had seen your photo before. I remembered the home made repro bellows.

I would rather have the correct item. If not correct, then at least carb mounted since that is where the harness leads to.

It probably wouldn't be too dificult to make a solid state version with an IR led interupter part, a transistor and a shutter plate fastened to the throttle.

There does seem to be about six requests for this part when anyone mentions they are parting out a car. Could make the solid state ones up for eBay sales?

I'll look at the Lokar offering too.
