Re: What's this?

If I recall, the 71-72 used the electric kick down that runs from RADIO on the fuse box to the gas pedal, and from the gas pedal to the what-u-call-it at the transmission. Maybe it's a solenoid. I've heard it referred to as a "pass through". The "solenoid" may be one or two prongs. Two prong is for kick down and TCS. My 71 had two prong, but I'm eliminating the TCS, it's worthless.

Prior to 71, I believe they used what you've got. I'm not aware of the configuration however.
