Hooking up a kickdown switch and cable

Can anyone tell me how to hook up a kickdown cable and switch on a 400 turbo with a quadrajet 80457 and the engine is a 350. Here are pics of the cable and switch I bought tonight. Hope I got the right ones.

Best one I have seen is made by Lokar. Easy to hook up reasonably priced and looks good too.

If your truck is a 71/72 the bracket is already there and all you need is an inexpensive switch from a parts store
