Default Strange Tracking Device Found In Vette

I removed the rear compartments (im redoing the interior) and found this strange looking electrical device. It is behind the passenger seat in the compartment area. There are several wires leading to it. Is this part of the seatbelt stuff or does it have to do with the alarm. If it is seatbelt related, I will '86 the thing.

Not sure when they changed it, but I think it's the alarm relay and flasher stuff for the alarm. Thats where it is on my '69.

Have you noticed that when you're out driving that you're being followed by black helicopters? :yesnod:

This might be the seatbelt interlock stuff unique to '74s. Please don't toss it out. NCRS guys are always looking for nice examples of these.

Alarm system relays so that the horn and parking lights flash...if your alarm isn't working then disconnect them and electrical tape the wires to avoid any future shorts. The one marked FBI is the one I installed, so leave it there so we can continue to track you! :jester
