Temperture Switch & Relay
1971 350/270 Quadrajet, Located on the drivers side firewall is a temperture switch and relay for the CEC solenoid. The temperture switch is mounted on the relay. Where can I purchase these?

Re: Temperture Switch & Relay (Tom Johnson)
It's not a temperature switch. The TCS temp. switch is in the passenger side cylinder head.
The two relays you are looking at are a time delay relay (activated for 15-20 seconds after start-up) and a reversing relay (called that because of the grounding path it takes) which actuates when the transmission is in high gear or reverse.
These show up on ebay regularly for 20-40 dollars depending on the number of bidders. Do different searches because these were also used on full-size Chevys, not just Corvettes.

Thanks for the info Missileman. At least now I know what I'm lookin for. Were these just on the 71 Vette and 71 full size Chevys?

They were on 71 and early 72's. The troubleshooting manual is in the 1972 GM books. I have an electronic copy. E-mail me if you want a free copy.
