your car is fuel injected right? well i'll assume that. i would mount the bracket on the TB and bend the bracket so that at WOT the piece the throttle cable attaches to will activate the switch. Mine is carb'd so i installed the bracket to one of the bolts that holds carb down and bent bracket to activate off WOT of linkage off carb.

yea when i was playin with it..the only way ..at least to me to mount it was the right hand lower bolt and then bend it in an L shape so that the linkage barely touches it..but i just wanted to see if that was ok or if there was a specific way to mount it without bending it

the bracket is meant to be bent so that you get it where it is supposed to go.

if its anything like a NOS kit , it was easier for me to use the lower IAC bolt and bend it around from there , make sure it doesnt hang up before you take it out and use it

i know i will def make sure of that....i dunno if i like the idea of it yet lots say its good..i like the wot on the tps but this is what came with my kit...i just have to place it far back enough so where the throttle just barely touches it right..i feel like it might break it or something.they just look small and very breakable

ya set it up so that at WOT it just activates the switch. But remember to use the gas pedal to see if its acivating because sometimes you can turn the TB more by had then the gas pedal will. sometimes things out of adjustment a little.
