Please help identify what electrical part this is. It is located above the gas pedal behind the dash.

Roger, is that really you? Great to see you back on. Hope all is well with the house.

Are there two kick down switches? There is another very similar switch with a vac hose attached that is mounted to the dash itself. The switch in the picture is mounted to the firewall above the pedal.
