Dn't know if this should be here or wiring but could someone tell me how to wire the kickdown switch on a 71 chevelle with th-400. I have the switch and bracket. My car has a painless wiring kit so i can't just use the stock wiring harnesses. I've looked through my wiring diagrams and they just don't give enough info! Thank you for your time!

wire a hot lead to the switch and then one wire from the other terminal on the switch and hook that to the trans.
when the switch is activated 12v should go to the trans. very simple. also you should hear it click when you manually activate the switch

Duhh, ok, so it's just a simple switch. wait, where is the ground when the trans sender is nylon?
