TCS Switch

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Here's the TCS switch for the trans sidecover, a bit pricey though starting out at $500! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Anyone know if this one is still available from GM? #3961567.

Still showing available, 3961567 dealer cost $6.92 wholesale $9.12 and list at $12.14. The new switches aren't cosmetically exactly like the original assembly line part but I guess that would depend on how fussy you want to be.

Good to know. I found an old NOS one when I did my resto, I think I paid about $10 for it. I don't the old versions are worth the $500 yet, are they?

[Rixls6]

You might try using part number 3996286 to search for the earlier style. They sure aren't worth $500, but tough to find NOS.

Rick,
The 286 switch you show is harder to find as it is discontinued. The only problem is it is a later model year application. Yours is a spade type switch while the 567 is a pin type. 1970-71 use the pin type and some 71 and all 72 models use the spade. You would need to modify the harness to use the 286 switch on a 70-71 car.

Chris is correct, the '70 Deuces indeed use the pin type switch.

Anyone know the part number of the side cover that holds this switch?

Marlin,

I'm looking for one of those for my '71 LS6 Corvette. Let me know if you would like to sell it. Thanks.

[Charley Lillard]

It doesn't have it ?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I don't have a spare TCS switch or a spare sidecover, I was just shocked by the opening bid price of the TCS auction! You could make a batch for that price!!

[Mr70]

I sold three used #648 covers for $10 each at a swapmeet last fall.Check with crash too,as I'll bet he has a bunch..They first released this newly designed cover in 1970,and used it throughout the mid 1970's on nearly all Muncie & Saginaw equipped vehicles,(cept Vegas),up to 1976 I think..
...Here's One (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUNCIE-4-SPEED-M21-SIDE-COVER-3952648-CHEVELLE-CORVETTE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33733QQihZ003Q QitemZ130197937724QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW).

I found an NOS TCS switch for the sidecover, new in the box - a little tarnished after all these years... Don't know what it's worth, $100 obo??

BTW: I have a 'Satisfaction Guarenteed' policy with the parts I sell. If you buy them, and are not completely happy, you get your money back - including return shipping!

[396L78canuck]

Marlin,I will take it and added it to the parking light money order.Now how about a 1970 open element air cleaner base? Bob

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Ha! no such luck on the a/c base http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The TCS switch is yours though!
