Subject:Throttle Body....One Switch?, Two Switch?, Red Fish?, Blue Fish?

My '85 is getting a freshened up engine, and a different set of
intake/injection parts. It has never had a Throttle Position switch of any
type. The connection was simply hanging there, and the Vaccuum system was in
a non-stock configuration. I'm looking to go to a system WITH a throttle
position switch and have the following options: One switch, or two switches.
The van was (I Believe) originally designed for a single switch system, as
it has a single loose plug as upposed to 4 loose sade conectors that i
believe was found on the '83.5-84's. The Throttle body i have with a single
switch, the switch doesnt seem to work. The earlier '84 Throttle body
however, is a duel switch system and works. Is it true that they can be
simply wired in Parallell? Are there any big advantages or disadvantages i
would see with one system as upposed to another?

Thanks again!
