Hi Folks,
does anyone have a used kickdown switch for a 1966 Toronado including the linkage to the carb? I am also looking for a power servo for a 66 AC non comfortron

I have the parts but only ship to US addresses. Email to dead@mchsi.com if this is workable for you. Regards Pat

I too need the same part (circled in Harashco's photo) for the same year Toronado, 1966.


I don't want to poach his part but if you can't ship it to him, I'm interested.


You may email me directly.

I have lots of those kickdowns and linkages. This is a crummy weekend for me timewise so email direct and I will try to get parts pulled and pics sent for approval.. dead@mchsi.com Thanks Pat

Have you guys ever heard of the Bruce Roe conversion? I WAS looking for the switches and linkage until I read about his switch pitch controller.....

Octania

I would trust Mr. Roe as he seems to know what he is doing, based on years of internet conversation with him, but I have not yet personally tried the product.

Otto Skorzeny

I have not heard of that. What's involved in setting it up?

Daniel Marsh

Google Bruce Roe Switch Pitch. He designed an electric module that will control all of this with the use of the sliding kick down from later model gm's.

This is the reply email I got from Bruce when I emailed him. I will put the documents up in a few also that came with it.

The first public SWitch Pitch Controller went on a 66 Toronado, you
can read about it on the attachments. Still for sale, I replaced the
mechanical vacuum switch with a solid state version and managed
to reduce the price to $150 postpaid in USA. Last sheet price is
out of date.

You will still need a kickdown switch, one from a 68 bolts right in,
or adapt a 70s type or aftermarket. If that is done, with the controller
you won't be using that unreliable mechanical switch in your car;
otherwise you will still need the kickdown part. I have a 67 trans
in my 79 Eldo.

You can also read about switch pitch transmissions on my PHOTOBUCKET
albums SWITCH PITCH TRANSMISSION and BUILD A SWITCH PITCH
TRANSMISSION.
