where to find passing gear/kickdown switch supplier

When the orig.327 was yanked from the engine bay of my 67 3/4 ton, the kickdown switch went with it.
I had a Transmission shop check it today, & they said i needed a ' kickdown' switch. I was led to believe it as an electric switch.
I have all the wires from the transmission.
I believe it was mounted on the intake manifold, behind the carb..
My engine bay now sports a GM crate 350, with the original transmission.
I'm looking for suppliers of this switch or ?

I've checked LMC ( pgs 117 detent cable )
and
YearOne ( pg 135 kickdown bracket )
BTW,... thanks,
jim

Trucks up to 1970 used one bolted to the rear carb stud.. here is one on Ebay.. They tend to get quite expensive..

The switches and brackets are available new and there are aftermarket versions. Attached is a picture of the original switch as installed. Also attached is a picture of the available parts with the vendor information.
