Gas pedal with detent switch....adaptable?

[airbrushguy]

Transplanted a 500 Cadillac/400 TH setup into my Hudson and would like to setup gas pedal
linkage that would engage kick down switch. I did not see original Cadillac pedal linkage and
was wondering if this pedal and linkage could be used. I have a Holley carb/Edelbrock manifold.
If anyone has done this, could you advise as to how to hook up detent switch?
Thanks in advance

You could use a microswitch attached to the carb itself to denote WOT.

Would prefer to use this setup if it is possible.
Does anyone know if it is?

Yes it is possible

Yes it is possible

Are you familiar with how it needs to be wired?
Thanks for your response

12v in to one post.
12v out from other post to trans.
It’s a switch

I personally would use a micro switch on the carb as recommended earlier.

For the record the switch attached to the pedal looks a lot like the stock one which is mounted next to the carb and tripped by the linkage.

Just sayin,

Interesting, I never saw the original pedal setup from the Cadillac.

I ran this switch on the pedal for a long time. Worked fine, just have to place it correctly so the pedal has full travel but also trips the switch at the right time. Can't remember what car I got it out of, maybe a caprice 9C1 car. I ran ignition switched power from the fuse box to it.
