Eric,

The reason(s) I'm thinking about changing the old type switches for the new
type switch is:

1. I have the new type switch in my hand attached to the throttle body.

2. I understand that the new type works better (one switch means less to go
wrong than two switches) Any coments from the list experience regarding this.

3. The replacement throttle body is in better condition than my old one (mine
has about 260,000 miles on it the replacement has only about 100,000 miles on
it).

Any and all coments are appreciated
