Talking Re: BB kickdown switch. ????

There are only two wires to the kickdown switch. The red power wire connects to the fuse panel at the "Ignition Unfused" location. The other wire routes through the fiewall down to the TH 400 on the left side and connects to the detent switch.

The Camaro you are taking about probably has a TH350 in it. Those are cable operated for the kickdown and the TH400 is electric.
