Wide open throttle switch wire?

I am hooking up an Autometer wideband and it has the ability to show and warn for lean conditions during wide open throttle. To do this I need to connect a wire to the "wide open throttle switch". Is there a wire that this? If so where? Here is the instructions:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No such thing on a Corvette. We have a Trottle Position SENSOR (TPS) which outputs a resistance value that changes a little from car to car.

Yea, I figured that was going to be the answer. Looks like I can get a switch that either triggers off the TPS or the gas pedal. The TPS one is pretty expensive @ $160.00 or so.
