1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

[Mr70]

That purple/black wire connects to the Transmission Controlled Spark #3961573 kick down relay rivited to the gutter.
Of the 3 terminals on the gutter mounted relay,it fits to the passenger side terminal,nearest the firewall.
The wire should have a female end to slide onto the male spade.

Thanks Rick,
so it would go like this correct?
I wonder why the last owner did not have it connected?
Also photo shows the pedal wires, is everything correct down there?

Rick i just took my Wire gutter off to have a closer look underneath.
I do not have a fourth connection like that smaller photo you included, maybe the connector broke off? Does not have any signs of being broken off.
Maybe the four speed cars were a different unit than an automatic one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

The third spade is broken off. It would be in the upper right corner of your picture and would be on the opposite end of the metal strip that is riveted to the bakelite.

Because of this you cannot connect it correctly. The black/pink wire should go to that missing terminal end. Where you have it now is actually a locating tab that the two prong connector mounts up against. However, it will still function correctly where you have it.

Thanks Rick,
Now i know why the last owner tucked that wire away in the Wire gutter.
I'll have to live with the Broken one for now until i find a good used one still rivited to the original wire gutter.
At least it will work hooked up like i showed in my photo as i see it runs to the same connection. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Time to make an Ebay Search.

Thanks, i see you are new to the SCR welcome.
Sure i can post my Radiator for you, also will include the NOS Water pump. Original Radiator was rebuilt by the last owner just before i bought the car. He added an &quot;IF&quot; side tank to go to a 4 core but i also recieved the &quot;IA&quot; side tank with the car. If you look closely there was a repair done Just over the &quot;H&quot; were the &quot;Harrison&quot; Logo is.
Last Motor ran super cool with a 160 degree thermostat and the 4 core system. I will re-install it the way it is set up now. The LS6 is an original 3:31 Geared car so it does not have the tab on the top Rad cover but the bottom does have the extension tab on the drivers side rad cradle frame.
