Where does this go....?

[mally002]

I thought I would try and start putting a few pieces back on the engine bay, but I just can't remember where this goes......I put it on the firewall just to show the item (a relay I guess). I know it doesn't go there, it was just to show the piece but where does it attach...........

Thanks,

Randy

I don't see anything like that on my '72. Where do the wires go? Is this an automatic?

Randy it looks as this on.

Randy,

Do you have a/c? From your pic, it looks similar to my a/c relay which was mounted in about the same location. Pic is below.

Hey guys,

It's a 1970 model with aftermarket air that I am going to remove.

It is a 4spd. There is quite a bit more "slack" in the wires, I would say another 14-18 inches so it could reach almost anywhere.

The main black wire goes back into the firewall under the hood catch.

Thanks for the input.

Randy,

I'm pretty sure then that it's the a/c relay. I figured out how to add a picture in my post above. Think there were about 4 wires coming from it. One went forward to the a/c compressor, the others went inside to the temp control, etc.

Randy,

Correction on my terminology: I called it an a/c solenoid. It's the a/c relay for carrying the heavy draw to the a/c compressor.

And your vintage aligns with the a/c that was put on my '70, 4/70 #3212.

Thanks Terry,

I guess I can actually just remove it since I'm pulling the a/c out.

Thanks for the info.

I think that's correct. None of my '71s (including the Series 1) had that part.
