I don't have a WOT switch on anything right now, but have had one on several vehicles in the past. I always used a brake light switch from a motorcycle (the one for the back brake). They mount easily in the hole for the AT kickdown cable (if you're running a standard) and are pretty easy to hook up.

that pretty smart, i didnt even think of that. i'll hafta look at bikes next time im at the junkyard. any specific one you normally use?

I have a NOS WOT switch that i got off ebay, i was more wondering how people setup a bracket. I'm also wondering if it would be better to go off the TB or the gas pedal?

my switch is like this one except without the braket

I have a wideband setup. The display mounted in the center console shows the numerical a/f and a bar graph. My DD is located above my heater vent. basically I just want my DD on when I can't look away from the road. the DD will be connected to the simulated NB output so it should be as accurate as the wideband. When i'm tunning I will be datalogging, so it doesnt really matter if i can read the display at all times

As I recall, most of the ones I've used in the past came from late 70's to early 80's street or street/trail bikes. There were a couple motorcycle only salvage yards in the area where I grew up, so I'd just browse until I found something that looked suitable. It should have a threaded round plastic body with a metal rod sticking out of 1 end. The rod has a hole in it and connects to the pedal with a spring. The switch closes when the rod is pulled and then opens when the tension is let off. Moving the switch in it's bracket changes the on/off point, so it's pretty adjustable.

I don't know how you'd make one of the microswitch type work. I guess you'd have to fabricate some sort of bracket that holds the switch in the right position for the lever to contact the throttle arm as it approaches WOT.
