What the blunt is this?
hey guys, check this out....found it under the front of the car, taped to the bumpter bracket. any ideas?
and this is inside, under the dash....
maybe a radar detector of sorts? um.....an alarm? that switch and the box are directly connected, just that one black wire. very strange....

Back in the early 80s some radar detector manufacturers made systems that had the detector hidden under the bumper and the alarm unit under the dash. I'd say that you just found one of them.

C'mon guys, ONLY REAL '74 owners would know the answer to this so I forgive you guys. This actually is part of a crash sensor on an early experimental airbag system on a '74 test car. There was several articles on it in magazines-but you guys read only what's on the Internet now anyways.

That's a remote radar detector. The part under the bumper is the antenna and the controls are mounted under the dash.

It's a bull5hit detector, all the red lights would be going off if you pointed it at this thread...
Oh, I would like to also point out that your hands are not greasy enough to be a true Corvette mechanic.
