looking for pix of how and where some of you all have your w.o.t switch located on a 4150 carb.

there are a few Co. that make a bracket that hold's the switch, it bolt's to the back bolt of the carb and is worked by the secondary's when opened, work's great.

I have the same throttle bracket you have. I mounted mine on that. I'll try to get a pick up later.

in the second pic I put in extra long bolt's on the micro switch's for a thrid switch, and used a linkage from an old choke set up weled on a piece of brake line... work's great.

Just another option for everyone. I do all of my installs with the micro sw under the throttle pedal. reason being is it keeps the engine bay looking cleaner and you won't have to fork out the big bucks for a billet brkt should you want a trick under hood install. then, on some of the late model EFI cars we have fly by wire linkage so no where to put a micro sw except under the pedal, or go with a TPS activated sw. I have numerous under pedal install pics on my sight for insight for those that may consider this route.

I just went with a button in the shifter t-handle since I want control of when it comes on and goes off... I trust my thumb more than my foot.

Is this wrong ?

my switch only activates / deactivates the system an rpm switch determins when it starts, go's off with a lift.
this way every run is the same, for you guys that index race (bracket) this should be somthing to think about.

You should still have a WOT activation sw. You don't want to spray anytime your not at WOT. It's one of the biggest safety items for any kit. I have my 3rd stage on a button, but also run a WOT micro SW under the pedal.
