What is This little silver box for??? And can I rip it, I mean get rid of it. I'm guessing something to do with A/C????? Got rid of my wiper motor and the wire harness for it, 1 wire bundle down and ????? more to go. :violent1:

No need to get rid of it - just relocate and hide it. Unless it's only a race car and whatever it's for isn't needed.
 
Can I just remove it or will a warning light/buzzer of some sort come on?

I have not a clue Dustedu2, It may not be a buzzer relay, It just jumped in my head as I seen it, I was guessing :scratch: Sorry about that , I bet a tech will jump in here and be more help for you.

Well, it does have seat belt wires so I thought it could be.

This one sounds like it has 2 more wires than mine. I will snatch it off and see what fails as mention. I have a manual on cd at my office, thing is, those wire diagrams are not easy for me to read. lol :scratch:
 
I am sure if you give /6dan the part # he will let you know what,when,why,where, he is really good at finding "all the info thats fit to print"

The same here Dustedu2, They can be hard to read I bet.
I remembered it being brought up here back then, wow the ol memory is not failing me :thumbup:
 
I have on on my car too

this is what the fender tag describes it as:

N95 NOX EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL

I just left the sliver box on the firewall and disconnected the wires. hope this helps.
 
Its a nox piece. found this on moparts. Here is some more info I've gathered. It's reliability is slightly questionable, so you might want to double check its accuracy.


In 1970 all cars used the Cleaner Air System (CAS)(PCV valve, valve cover vent, etc. In 1970 California cars used the Evaporation Control System (ECS)(fuel vapor setup) in addition to the CAS system.

In 1971 the ECS & CAS systems were used in the other 49 states, while California cars went to the NOX system in addition to ECS & CAS. The NOX system includes special components for the transmission, a special camshaft with more valve overlap, and a 185 degree thermostat. There were 2 different setups available depending on manual or auto trans.

Manual trans = a switch on the trans sensed what gear the car was in. any gear below high gear made a solenoid cut off the vacuum from the carb to the distributor vacuum advance unless the temperature sensor indicated the underhood temp was less than 70 degrees.

Auto trans = similar to above, but used a speed sensing switch inline with the speedometer cable.

In 1972 the ECS & CAS systems were used in the other 49 states, while California cars went to the Orifice Spark Advance Control (OSAC) & Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system in addition to ECS & CAS. OSAC is a firewall mounted valve with hoses to the carb and distributor vacuum advance. EGR is a valve on the intake manifold with a temperature unit on the firewall. The EGR system had slight differences depending on what engine was in the car. (318 ported, 340 floor jetted)

In 1973 the ECS, CAS, OSAC, & EGR systems became standard on all cars. I'm not aware of any differences for California cars in 73.

In 1974 the ECS, CAS, OSAC, & EGR systems were still standard on all cars. California cars used a venturi vacuum amplified EGR setup.

Their you go, after all the bullshit you now get to the meat of the matter.
