    Passing gear switch is the same as the automatic kickdown switch.  It is mounted
on the left side of the intake air distributor.  It has a mechanical arm that is
engaged when the throttle is wide open (pedal to the floor).  This causes the
kickdown solenoid in the transmission to engage and downshift to a lower gear.  It
has two leads, one goes, obviously to the kickdown solenoid in the transmission and
the other I believe comes from one side of the coil.  Jim is more clear on this than
I.
