Correct thermo vacuum switch (TVS)
Hi all,
Any help appreciated! I am replacing my TVS switch which was broken off by the previous owner. I finally removed it, but the recommended replacement by Auto Zone, and other website does not match. See attached picture. On the left, it's the one I bought, and the right the one I removed.
I have a 1986 IROC 305 4bbl, vin H.
I know the TVS is not essential for car emissions, but I am just trying to get as original as possible. Any suggestion in what might had happened? Anybody with the same trouble? engine swap?
Thanks again!

The thread size is larger on the one I bought, so it does not fit in the hole of the engine.
