Default Throttle Control Switch??
What does this do and how? I have one on the 75 next to the accelerator but it doesn't seem to be connected to anything. It has a place for a plug, but I don't see any wires to plug in.

Thank.

That is your Auto Trans kick down switch.

I thought the trans KD was the cable that runs from the side of the trans to the throttle lever. At least on my 76 it is. We did have the 75 converted from auto to 4-speed, so that would explain why it is disconnected.

That explains it. The 75 had a 400, my 76 has a 350.

Thanks.
