1965 Oldsmobile 98 Throttle Control Switch

I have a 1965 Oldsmobile 98 and am looking for the Throttle Control Switch. The main housing mounting bosses broke and I have had two failed attempts at fixing it. I'm trying one last attempt at a braze weld but even if that works it'll probably ruin the switch. Delco Remy lists the part number as 1993355 and as obsolete. I'm looking for either a new or used part. I really don't care much about the kick down function but just want to be able to get the car back on the road. The switch is an integral part of the throttle linkage.

I don't know anything about '65 big cars, but a quick fleaBay search for
"oldsmobile throttle control switch"
yields 2 hits for a '64 & a '66/67.

Maybe ?

Please post a picture of it. Chances are it's a rotary switch with 12V in and kickdown out, and perhaps switch pitch converter as well. How many electrical blades does it have on it, 2 or 3?

I want to send a shout out to 66luvr. After working the deal over a couple of emails and sending him a money order, the part was in my mailbox a week later.

Thanks man, you really saved the day for me!
