Re: turbo 400 kickdown switch

The switch is self-adjusting.

There is a locking tab on the switch which can be moved by finger pressure-- it's on the rectangular beige plastic part right against the steel. Just a silly little spring tab. Start with the pedal in the idle position. The switch won't be contacting the metal of the gas pedal assembly. Push in the tab on the switch, and "force" the movable part toward the pedal--you'll hear the ratchet/clicking noise. Then allow the switch to come back to it's normal position, so that spring tab pops out again. THEN move the throttle to wide ope, this sets the adjustment. There should be no need for rubber tubing on the gas pedal if the switch is adjusted properly.


I was designed so it could be installed at the factory and the first time the vehicle was floored it was set/adjusted.
Cheers
