All,

70 GTO with a thm400

The car has had the harness replaced with a painless one and there is no kickdown, Everything else on the cars works but these wires were not run. I'm not much on electrical things but I want a kickdown. How do i wire one of these?

I think one side of the switch goes to ground but I don't know where the other should go?

Type answers slow...small words...

Use any switched hot wire for power. Usually the black wire with yellow stripe that goes to the wiper motor is a good switched source.

Hook up a switched hot wire to one terminal on the passing gear switch, and run another wire from the other terminal on the passing gear switch to the plug-in on the transmision.

The passing gear switch just turns power on to the solenoid in the transmission.

your gto should have a kickdown switch just above the gas pedal? The pedal linkage hits the slider and makes electrical contact at about 3/4 throttle. The slider is a self adjusting deal when you click it all the way out then push back in. It adjusts the same way as the TV adjustment on a TH350 at the carb linkage if you've ever had one of those.
I think even original 4sp cars had the 2 wires for the kickdown in the loom just not used. Look for those wires above gas pedal. A kickdown switch is just a switch between a 12v source (when car is running) and the solenoid on the side of the trans.

Maybe too late now but yesterday another post had this excellent pic of the kickdown I mentioned
