Re: NOS 05151 kit..microswitch location

I spent about an hour looking at the supplied bracket, and then I went down to the hardware store and picked up a piece of aluminum angle. I drilled one hole in the angle and put it under one of the throttle body bolts. Then I cut another rectangle of aluminum and mounted the switch to it. Finally I bolted that piece to the angle. It took a little cutting, grinding, and drilling, but it worked.

Sorry no pics, it's been a few years and at the time I wasn't really documenting.

Edit, found one of my bottle mount. lol

if you ever get a controller alot of them have WOT tps switches already in the box, just tap into the blue tps wire and read voltage at WOT

Re: NOS 05151 kit..microswitch location



I used the HSW (harris speed works) LT1 throttle body bracket with switch. Its like 20 bucks and bolts to the bottom TB screw on TPI/LT1 style TB's. My holley throttle body wouldnt trigger the switch with the throttle linkage lever so i drilled a hole in the lever arm, and put a small screw so that it would trigger the switch at WOT.
