Tom, the ST 300 does have two wires that connect to that "T" terminals. One is for the switch pitch solenoid the other is for the kick down solenoid.
The real determining factor is the code on the low servo cover. In that picture , it looks to be "NK". That code is correct for a '65 or '66 GS.

I will definitely check that code. Sure looks like NK from the pics. I'm glad I thought to photo that side. So did someone wire it so at least the trans kick down would work when using passing gear?

Loren, It does say NK on the trans, and the trans pan is exactly like the one in the pic you sent me. I would like the complete setup . Once you know it is functional, let me know how to arrange payment. My zip is 43511. Thanks. Tom

Tom,
I checked it out and the micro switch works good. But when I took the aftermarket plastic loom cover I found breaks in the wire insulation.
The kick down switch works well. I rewired the kick down switch and installed new terminals on the connector of the micro switch.
Here is a picture of the finished setup.
If you are good with that , let me know and I can get it on the way once I have your shipping information. USPS medium Priority is $13.60. Makes a total of $188.60. Will pm my Paypal address to you.

Loren, I found an orange power wire right where you said it would be. It has power only when the key is in the run position. I checked it twice. Shouldn't it have at least been taped off on the end? It was just hanging loose. Going to attach a pic to this.

Yes , it should have had something on it. It should have a different terminal though, not a flag terminal.
I will send you an email with pictures of what you should have to connect to the switch power terminal.
