Question How to mount a WOT switch on my LT1?

I have the WOT switch and bracket that TNT supplied with the kit but I can't seem to find a good way to mount it. Anybody got any ideas or pics of how to do this? Thanks!

That looks good, but on the TNT kit there is a spacer between the TB and manifold and the switch is different. It doesn't have the long contact point on it, so I don't think it will touch the throttle if I mount it like that.

I had to bend mine around quite a bit to get it to work. If the length of the contact bar, whatever its called, is too short, maybe u could just extend it somehow or another. Not sure how u could go about doing it, but it took me at least an hour of just standing there looking at it tying to figure out where to put it. Just sit back and look at it, it'll come to ya. Good luck, Chris.......

You can look here to see it but you will barely be able to because it's a place that is all tucked away

Quick Fix

I just put a TNT kit on a 97 T/A, and we mounted the WOT on top of the Throttle body, lay the bracket flat on top of TB. Take the middle(closest to nose of car) screw out of the top plate of TB, put a washer on the screw and place the screw threw the bottom most hole of the bracket. Move the bracket to 2:00 (if you are looking at the motor from the front) it should over hang the throttle linkage. place the switch on the bracket that was pervided with kit, so that the metal part(of the switch) faces to the rear of the car. When you move the throttle to "full" the tail peace of the throttle linkage should come up high enough to make contact with the switch. I can send you a pic tomorrow if you need more help.

The Jimmy Jams one is nice but does not work with the BBK 58mm TB because the mechanism is different and doesn't come in contact with the switch that they provide. I had to get a different version of the switch with a longer arm in order to make mine work.
