I thought the th350 only came with the kd cable. The wiring looks to be stock. So what is going on here? Also, where does the electronic kd hook into the tranny? And if this all makes sense, should I remove the kd cable that is just dangling in my engine compartment then seal they tranny side with what? Any thoughts are appreciated.
thanks BB
ok, so after reading, the th350 doesnt have an electric kd. So what is the module on the gas pedal, and where does the kd cable attach to it?
Thanks bb

The 69 CUTLASS could have come with one of three automatic transmissions, a two speed Jetaway, a three speed TH350, or a three speed TH400. The Jetaway and the TH400 both used an electric kickdown that was activated with the switch on the accelerator pedal. I'm guessing your car originally came with the Jetaway. The TH350 used the cable kickdown and since this was a factory option, the hole for the cable is already punched in the firewall. You need the TH350 accelerator pedal. The difference is that instead of the electric switch, the TH350 accelerator has a second tab that the kickdown cable attaches to. You also need a different plate that replaces the one with the arm that holds the switch.
