Default 1972 TRANS AM turbo 400 / shaker solenoid switch

Here is a very rare, one-year, one model-only 72 trans am turbo 400 kick down / shaker solenoid activation switch. The original part number is 1235480. It had a dual function on the 72 trans am with the turbo 400 transmission, and that is why it has the added brown and orange striped resistor as seen in the picture next to a standard switch. I have had it for about 35 years now since I parted the car it came from. This is a very hard-to-find part in good used condition. You will only receive the switch with the resistor. $250 shipped in the cont.us only.

$225 shipped. This is probably the hardest part to find for a 72 T/A with auto trans.

Default 1972 TRANS AM turbo 400 / shaker solenoid switch

Question for you. I have a 73 TA which someone put a functional scoop on with a single solenoid. They cut the kick down wire going into the switch on the accelerator pedal and wired in the solenoid. The car has a Hurst his and hers shifter so assume they didn't need the kickdown. I want to wire the kickdown up again but want to keep the scoop functional on the same switch. This would be the same as a 72 switch but I think the scoop had two solenoids.

I am pretty sure the switch you have would work but I wouldn't want to waste it when someone who is doing a 72 restoration could really use it. Do you know it was just the same switch as a 73 but with a resistor attached? If so, what size resistor was it and how was it wired?
