Anyone describe how the 400 Transmission Kickdown Harness is supposed to be routed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Working on a 1971 402/400TH

I rec'd the harness below, which plugs into the connector that comes through the firewall for transmission kickdown.

I'm stumped what the plastic clips are for, and the 3/8" hole connector as well. My 71 402/400TH was routed similar the image of the Assembly Manual, using two fixed clips and one at the transmission.

My 72 402/400TH is routed over to the RH side of the transmission, lays on top of the transmission to route to the terminal on the LH side??? It doesn't have the plastic clips, but does a steel clip (open-ended), though it's not attached to anything, nor do I see where it could be - it's probably wrong.

This looks like the common harness however. Can anyone tell me how the wire is mounted and where the three clips on the harness go? Near as I can tell I need to pull the clips off and match up to similar the Assembly Manual, which is like I found it in the first place

Thank you
