Default Re: 70 Nova TCS Relay

Belair62,
The item on ebay get's mounted into your transmission. The TCS stuff I believe came into effect for the 70 models. There are 3 parts to this system. The 1st is mounted into the transmission, the 2nd get's mounted typically onto the firewall wiring gutter and the 3rd is mounted at the front of the intake just in front of the air cleaner. This system deals with vacuum. In order for the engine to receive maximum vacuum, the engine has to be warm and the transmission has to be in 4th gear for a 4 speed. That is the way I understand I works. It deals with the amount of vacuum that is allowed and in what gear. Apparantly a lot of people take the inside stuff out and then it acts as a vacuum canister all the time. Don't have to worry about 4th gear then.

I believe TCS means:Transmission Control Solenoid???
