HarryJ Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 What's the lever/linkage it's attached to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Does the car have an accessory backup light on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 66"special" Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 it is the gas pedal/throttle linkage it attaches the the carb on one end the pedal on the other and no revers light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsue Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It's got to be the stator switch to tell the transmission when you're at wide open throttle.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 66"special" Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I thought about that too but no matter how far you move the linkage nothing comes close to touching it and there is nothing even close to it to plug it in to but it runs just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsue Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Here's my second guess. If it has a way to adjust the switch it is probably for a factory cruise control. Wires could fit the cruise unit too.Let us know.thanksBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Romberger Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That is the switch you ask your brother-in-law to hold in while you stomp on the accelerator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
