1974 Z28 ?
I need some help with a item on a couple of 1974 Z-28 I recently purchased. I have included a picture. Question is what is this, both cars have it and its looks like some type of switch on the drivers inner fender. I am sure someone out there is an expert and can tell me what it is used for. Thanks for any help

Re: 1974 Z28 ?
You might want to post this question at the BEST 2nd Gen Camaro web site
www.NastyZ28.com. Probably in the ORIGINAL Drivetrain Forum btw: extremely easy to post photos now at nastyz with new software, not requiring a hosting site....directly from your puter or device

Re: 1974 Z28 ?
Phil is correct. It's part of the seat belt interlock system. It's an override relay that allows you to start the car when there's a failure with the seat belt interlock system. There's a short paragraph in the 1974 service manual on how to use it.

A 74Z with A/C,not many of them.
The rubber cap is missing on the seat belt switch.

Re: 1974 Z28 ?
Heres the top of it. You depress it to over-ride the seat belt lockout. You have to be sitting in the seat and have the seat belt fastened to be able to start the car. This switch over-rides that feature if you need to start it. Its kind of a pain in the ass but mine does work. Look under the driver side seat and you will see the components for this.

Re: 1974 Z28 ?
So now, just to be clear, that is not the "reset" button HRC gave to Putin?
