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.
Tony,
The red wire from the kickdown switch is connected to one of the two male prongs on the tranny. I haven't traced the red wire from the "KD" switch to see where it originates. I'll do that this weekend.
