I have all the electronic components but need the bracket to hold the kickdown switch to the carburator, and the tab which connects to the linkage - which the kickdown switch pushes against when the throttle is mashed down to cut off the OD unit.
Does anyone know of a vendor or source to get these items? Does anyone have them and can give me an idea on how to make my own.
Thank you
Dennis

The important thing to remember is not to start out in overdrive. I assume you've checked it out before installing. Mine is the non-synchro 1st gear model.

If it's a I6 time to use 2 barrel bracket that's modified or make your own. The best I6 set-up I saw was using a clip off the shifter linkage on the trottle rod to close the switch at the carb.There is a place called C&P Automotive in Kulpsville, PA that might be able to help, the phone number is 800-235-2475.
