Re: 3 speed overdrive with an HEI distributor

If you're like me and don't want to spend a fortune on the GM kick down switch, the Studebaker one from Stude4x4 on Ebay is a great option. Thanks Ray for that suggestion! The switch has some weight to it, definitely not plastic on the insides. I haven't used it yet, but it feels like a quality part. It was easy to change the wiring harness to work with the new switch, and I wasn't upset about that because my GM plug was busted up pretty bad.

Here's a pic of the switch with the bracket that I just finished up making (more details of that on my build thread)
