pics of pedal mounted kick down switch in 2nd gen
doing a 'custom' install of a TH400 kick down switch in my 81 this week. looking for a nice clean pic of what the finished install should look like for the switch that is actuated by the gas pedal under the dash in a second gen F-Body.

Look at 81 Z28s as they had a cowl hood flap throttle pedal switch activated. I think I have one in the garage I'll look for.

not sure if this shows what you need, it's pretty tight under there for side views.

That's for the switch pitch 400 right? I picked up the SP th400 and it came with that switch I think. Was going to put it in my lemans but tuff to find a converter

You may have a manual trans gas pedal bracket in the car if it isn't drilled. The A bodies are that way. Manual trans bracket was different than auto.
There's one on ebay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-81-Camaro...FYzwsS&vxp=mtr I have a spare GM NOS switch. If you're interested, PM me. |

Yep the 81 Camaros had a small cowl hood scoop that was electronically actuated . I never knew that until I parted one out to turn my plain Camaro into a Z28-that is gettign the 500" IA motor. In fact pulled the 383 SBC out this weekend to get ready fro the swap.

That's a ginormous mount compared to the early 70's one. Check Ames, pretty sure the have the earlier small mount.

The mount is just on the side of a normal pedal bracket.
