[Amc-list] switch identification help

["Jamie Smith" <oconner51@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are working on a 62 Rambler Classic with a 196 OHV engine. There is a switch mounted right by the carb and when you accelerate a tab on the throttle linkage activates that switch. it has (I think) 4 wires going to it. One of those wires was connected to the + side on the coil. We were not getting any spark and when we disconnected that wire from the coil we started getting spark. 

What is the purpose of this switch and is it supposed to be connected to the + side of the coil? Thanks.
