Need some help on a KnickDown Switch for my 67 SS, Has a 400 turbo in it. I put in a 800 Holly and have NO idea of what type of Switch to go with.
Was told the Original was un the Dash worked by the accellerator. I can,t find any blue prints showing how it worked or how it was installed.
I have seen the type that goes on a Holly, but on Ebay, is over $50.
Does anyone know who to contact that would have the right type I need to order from? Thanks,

Here's a universal, probably the same thing that's on eBay... $30. This is different than factory but will work.
