69 396/325 auto kickdown?
Ejam:
Can someone explain how the setup was for th400 kickdown for 69 396/325 with quadrajet.... I'm seeing bracket mounted to carb with detent switch l believe. Where can l get the bracket, detent switch and wire if that is the way it was?

It's shown in your 1969 Assembly Manual, section M40, sheets A8 and A9; check with the various suppliers to see who has the bracket, switch, wiring, etc.
169INDY:
Kickdown Harness $32 mail order (appx.) various vendors.
Kickdown bracket & throttle lever (paddle) $39 (appx.) Ebay The Parts place.
Kickdown Switch (Used or NOS) $ (??) swap meets-epay-ads.
The nice thing about the switch which is NOT reproduced is they applied this switch & similar versions on TONS of body styles, across the GM lines Trucks also, so your search will not be that difficult.
Couple notes:
I think the Yellow HOT (+12V) feed is from the Wiper motor. to accomplish properly you need to extract the female spade connector and replace the terminal with a double wire version and re-insert to the plastic molded connector. (Disclaimer this is how LOS wired my orig 68 L35/TH400).
This is where I purchase my terminals & use a special crimper.

There is also a steel wire harness clip that retains the harness using one of the transmissions housing bolts to route harness down the back towards the kickdown solenoid. & clip on side of TH400 trans.
Consult your assy manual for lots of installation details.

Joe, do you have any pics of your setup at the carb and wiper motor? Thanks.
