gen4maxima536 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 after doing a little google search i couldn't figure out what this is. anyone else have one or know what it is? if not i'll have to start following wires around and see what they connect to. Quote Link to comment
datsun76_620 Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Looks like a relay...where is it...what's it on...how many wires going in? any numbers on the base near the wires? Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 i think that is for a dime with an automatic traqnsmission Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 From the diagram on the case it looks like a PNP transistor switching a relay on/off. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I've had that box in a few 510s. From what I can tell its from an auto car. I will check the diagram. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 the wires that go to the auto tranny are black and blue, and maybe green. It would mke sense Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I think it's called the move indicator relay. There is a speed detector in the auto tranny to let the emissions know that the car is in motion in order to select the correct set of advance or retard points. On the standard tranny there is a third/ fourth/ neutral switch, plus the clutch switch that takes care of this. Quote Link to comment
gen4maxima536 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 hmm all interesting. the car currently has an automatic tranny in it, so that would make sense. crazy emissions. it is mounted on the pass. side under the dash but pretty much in plain sight Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 the sensor is in line on the speedo cable Quote Link to comment
KFive Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I too have that box in my auto trans 510. I didn't know what it did either. I had to unplug mine because it was clicking really loud when I was in motion. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Morning Mike. Thanks for that 'nugget' of info. The diagram I have shows it connected to the cable but it's not clear if it's in the tranny or not. Since standards are the norm its good to learn something about the auto. I checked the 620 auto and it doesn't seem to have it but maybe the 521? Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 the one on my 69 auto 510 had a adjustment screw on it i wonder what that was for? Quote Link to comment

I had a 510 that did the same thing, it was kinda funny :D the sensor is in line on the speedo cable Is that a recent pic Mike? When are you going to put those fenders I traded you on :D dam that was a long time ago, we have been buddies for ever :) Morning Mike. Thanks for that 'nugget' of info.
