Default what are these??

as you can see in the picture, i am in the midst of renewing my engine bay, and i wanted to replce these because they rattle I have looked on some corvette parts retailers websites and havent found these parts. The one on the left sort of resembles the a/c hi blower relay, but the way the one on the catalog mounts is with the prongs facing the drivers side fender, and this one is facing the opposite direction. So does anyone know what these 2 electrical components are?

The item with wires on the right is circuit breaker.

On the left looks like a relay. I don't think either are factory, as if I see your picture right this is near where the throttle cable comes into the engine bay.

The large wire support IS factory, and if the original wires were in it, would interfere with these added electrical devices.

The unit on the right looks exactly like the circuit breaker for the power windows that is on my '69. It's in the same location also.

I could be wrong when since I have never looked at a PW car this closely.

Check your AIM for location of such hardware. You may need to reference several areas of the manual to determine correct configuration for your car.
