NOS trigger (teehehehehe). (Sorry, I really don't know but at least this will bump the post back up for ya)

The kick down switch on a 71-72 turbo 400. In 71 they moved the switch from the carb mounted electric kick down to the pedal mounted kick down- they left them there until the end of the 400 trans. If you will look at your trans there is a spade connector coming out near the left side of the tail shaft (still part of the main trans body). This is the other end of the switch and power is pulled from fuse box.

This is assuming the turbo 400 trans has not been swapped for something else.
