    71 TCS Wiring Trouble

    On the TCS system the delay relay is fed by a brown/white wire. I am not getting power at the plug at the relay but I am getting voltage forward of the firewall on this wire. The AIM schematic shows a fusible link on this wire. The harness is still wrapped. What type of fusible link should I be looking for, and approximate location?

    Second question, I bypassed part of the delay relay (by opening the contact point on the bimetallic strip)to test the function of the reversing relay. It actuates the solenoid as it is supposed to in 3rd and 4th, but top of case seemed very hot after a test drive. Normal? If it helps, the black wire that comes up from the transmission had been severed at some point and repaired with a butt connector.

    Re: 71 TCS Wiring Trouble

    I have a 70 with the TCS. One of the first things I did to my car when I bought it new was to disconnect the TCS and ran full vacuum from the carb to the distributor vacuum advance. Gas milage improved in city driving, it went from about 11 to 14. I haven't missed the function of the factory TCS for 32 years. Just like CAGS in my 96 LT4 it served no function for me and it has been disconnected since it was new.
