'72 Thermal limiter

[Tom L.]

Does anyone have a pic of a known factory original? I need one for my '72 and there are a bunch on ebay that claim that they are NOS. Just wondering if they are the same in appearance as factory originals. If not I might just go the my FLAPS. Thanks!

It's not clear to me what part you're referring to.

Tom,

One that Tracy Perf has listed is correct. Looks exactly like the original on my 72 did.

Joe, the part I'm referring to is the one Bill noted. Bill, thanks. The ones I see on e-bay have green print, in AC Delco boxes and are MUCH less $$$ than the one you posted. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121325497038...l2649Basically why I asked, Guess it was too good to be true. Thanks!!

tom,

functionally they are the same.
you can always flip the wires and put the print on the bottom side.
mine was just laying on top of the evaporator case towards the rear section by the fan relay.

I could never see any of the printed lettering on it.

Re: '72 Themal limiter

Thanks, you're probably right about the print. All of the ones on cars that I've seen are not in the same place or just dangling. Guess I could just put it where I like.

Here is the original TL from my 72, as you can see from the 2nd photo it is blown. I dont know why I saved a blown fuse, but here it is
