Flem, is it hypothetically possible to install a circuit into a drive by wire computer to activate a 12 volt signal at a certain percentage of throttle? In this case, a TH400 kickdown switch.

yes, but I'd have to think about this one. I think there are 3 potentiometers in that pedal and one is the inverse of the other. You could be ghetto and tap into 1 and have it control a transistor that controls a relay, or you could source the plugs, build something that doesn't look like a piece of crap and use all 3 in some sort of failsafe way.
Are there no solutions to this available? What does the kickdown signal control? Any idea on the amps it would draw?
...
There are aftermarket mechanical options but they require a mechanical connection to the throttle. On the ones I have seen, it would be prohibitively difficult to attach to the actual pedal and there is no linkage of any kind protruding from the electronic throttle body. The signal makes the transmission downshift when you mash the throttle. No idea on amperage, but probably blue butt-conector range.

find a diagram from the pedal connector and I'll see what I can do
is 8100 a specific pedal, or is the tac module specific?
...
Pedals are universal, TAC's are app specific.

Foty toos. About 4 years in the making...
Brand new TSL's on the rear, worn out IROKs on the front. Respect.

He's around 120 I think.
Yes, tubework is coming up after a few other projects get done. My wheel base is, in fact, ~120".

Sharpe, are your spindle nuts the 'common' ones for 60's? If so, I was thinking of trying to find some for the next time I have to take mine apart. I will have to see what kind I have on the green 60 in the barn.
