Odds you will be braking from a 4-5 shift are slim and the 6-5 shift is straight in line.

I've done installs with auxiliary switch and the brake pedal. Both are viable options with the brake light one being the most mindless.
I'm not over complicating anything. Mine works like I have it in a 4th gen f-body.

The brake pedal one is also the wrong way to do it. I've personally seen someone (will be left un-named), that had the RLO hooked up to the brake light switch, zing reverse down-shifting from 6th trying to go to 5th.
Adding a switch is better for sure, but I want it to work like it's supposed to. If I get around to putting the 73 back together I will definitely run one of these boxes. If it's worth doing, it worth doing right.
