clutch pedal switch - 10/27/08 05:55 PM
Part #3488177,on a 73 Cuda.Cannot find the # in my service manual or parts manual.Also looked online,but no luck.Attaches to the brake/clutch pedal assembly,and is operated by pushing the clutch pedal.I think its a safety switch for starting,but not sure.There is a little pin that sticks out from it and into a loop attached to the clutch pedal.I broke the pin off and not sure if its needed.Thanks for any help

A couple of things..
The clutch pedal switch is a lever micro switch which is normally open and is closed when the pedal is engaged. When closed the switch grounds the starter control relay so the starter can turn over. These switches can be expensive..
You mite want to check with Wayne @ Brewers Performance, he has had these available.

A relatively inexpensive microswitch with the arm bent as required does the same thing.

With a reasonably heavy clutch starting the car with the clutch pedel depressed puts a lot of pressure on the dry thrust bearing. I would bypass it if it were working good.

Is it just the tip that's broken off....I'd rivet a small "L" shaped piece to the main arm and go with it that way.
