Yanno... I just spent 10 minutes trying to dig up a full part number plus picture for ya..... and then I remembered how much of a complete pain in the *** you've been to me during and since my time as a moderator. Nevermind!

 

I was waiting to test that.
Its so nice when your forum settings work right.


I just wanna make things easy on me.
Book only shows two wires but ya never know.
Price vary from $9-$40 and I wanna order tonight.

 

Really glad I didn't bother

 

it should be the 2 wire. I broke the 3 wire one during the 305 swap and that's the bastard that's $40 to replace

 

one big happy family, lol. just kidding all. nuttin but love to everyone from my end

 

ether way you KNOW he clicked here to view your post. hafta see if the people you are ignoring are talking crap. though you do hafta admit your original post was a bit spitefull.

BTW napa only charges $34 for the "$40 one"

 

I only did that ignore feature with one guy on here... and I never checked on his posts, either. That's a memory for the old-timers here, huh?

Yeah it should be two wires.

Keep in mind too that it's not a real safety switch... it's more of safety as in "so your car doesn't die when you're merging onto a highway".

Go for a junkyard one!

And actually, you don't need it... I drove for years with mine disconnected. Why? Well when I put in my oil pressure and water temp gauges in my nifty new-for-1997 dual gauge pod, I thought the oil pressure safety switch was the gauge sensor. Yep, I unhooked/replaced the wrong one.

So a few years later when I realized I made a mistake, I removed and unhooked the correct gauge sensor, and hooked back in the "safety switch".

As long as your fuel pump relay's good, you're OK without GM's "safety switch".
