Idk what that is

On my 1987 intake manifold there is something on the passenger side near the throttle body. It looks like something electrical.

I'm concerned because I'm putting a 1989 350 Vette engine and the intake on that doesn't have it.

Anybody have a clue?

Yeah I know but assuming the throttle body was there. It's the one on the bottom left side of the intake.

Re: Idk what that is

Alright. So this goes with the cold start injector?

If I'm using that 89 Vette Engine with it's 89 computer there is no problem right?

Re: Idk what that is

If you're using an engine that has no cold start injector, the cold start switch won't be a problem.
