  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Well, I have the '71 chassis manual and assume colors will be the same for 70-72. The switch on the gas pedal should have two wires on it. 12v is an 18 gauge yellow wire coming from the Radio. The wire going to the firewall and from the engine side of the connector to the tranny is an 18 gauge black and white wire. I believe only later trannys had two spades on them and the second was for a TCS wire. (transmission controlled spark). If your tranny only has one spade connection, it has to be for the kick-down wire.

    The pink and black wire you have is from the vacuum solenoid for the TCS on the carb.

    Todd,
    You can look for the original wires, but if they aren't there, you can wire it up easy. The gas pedal switch needs 12 volts on one tab, and the other goes to the transmission. Simple as that.
