Melted TCS Temp Connector. Help?

[DarrenX33]

I'm sure many have had this happen. At some point the TCS temp lead dropped down on my header and melted the gray connector. Now I need to connect it up. Anyone have a source for the connector (2 prong L shaped) only? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Happened to me too D. One of our good friends here bailed me out with a piece from an old wiring harness he happened to have in his stash. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif
They're easy to change when you find one.

-----Darren,,,I have a huge amount of old harnesses taken out of cars. If you can send me a picture of the melted one I can look around on my harnesses. If I have it its yours..........Bill S

Pick a Part and wire cutters, or http://www.auveco.com/ I think I have seen them in my catalog.

Rick,
Have a extra one you can spare for a 70 L34 Nova.One of the past owners cut the end off and rolled the wire up. Mark

[olredalert]

-----Mark,,,Same goes for you. If someone will post a pic I am sure I have one. I will cut the wire as far up as I can so you can join it some where that it would be hidden........Bill S

[DarrenX33]

I'd post a pic but the connector is not here..

[DarrenX33]

Connector received and installed. Thank you many times over Rick Nelson! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Bill/Darren,

Not the best shots but maybe they'll be of some help.

-----Thanks Dennis! I know I must have several of the L-shaped grey connectors. If anyone still needs one just yell and Ill take the time to drag out all the harnesses and find one.........Bill S

Hmm, mine is grey and yours is brown? Here are a couple of pictures I found from when my engine was coming out..

[olredalert]

------Im sure I have both brown and grey.......Bill S

[ORIGLS6]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Who knows. Probably a Chevelle vs. Camaro thing like you say. Mine melted a couple of years ago and Don Stowers donated a replacement, but my original one was definitely brown. And I just replaced the outer housing. The wire and terminals were never removed.

[DarrenX33]

Brown would be original. You'll find the same differences on the front wiring harness for the headlights. Great pics DC, thanks!

[Xplantdad]

You're getting there D! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[DarrenX33]

Close, sorting out the last detail I hope. Shifter woes right now.. Watching the mail... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

FYI - Note that Charley's Z has a brown TCS connector..

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Bill S.,
Sent you a PM.Thanks for the pics guys,thats what i need.
Mark

Darren, sorry for the confusion. I miss understood your post and did not realize you were looking for an OEM terminal end when you asked for the grey one. I have extra grey ones as I always remove these from the reproduction harnesses and replace them with the customer's original brown one when doing a restoration. Sorry bout that. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

FYI: Schonye's pix that he forwarded to me of his original TCS switch L-connector are gray for a '70 Deuce. My repro engine bay harness for my Deuce is also gray.

Grey is fine with me. That is what I was expecting anyway. Can't imagine many would have originals laying around anyway.. I'm good. Heck, I'll paint it brown. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
