Keep us informed. I'm sure many will be waiting see what you come up with.

GM redesigned this ckt in the 92 MY. Any one have a manual that deplicts the changes. It might be easier to convert to that setup. I suspect its some kind of relay configuration (which could give us the 'correct' relay to use.)

Yes as memory servers the newer design draws less current though those contacts. However, if you remember to stat the car with the clutch peddle pressed in all the way the contacts do not arch and last indefinitely. Oh and of course leave the key turned a bit longer than you would other cars after start to avoid having the MAP sensor tube from coming off

Corvette Express found one for me about a year ago but at $150 plus markup it was close to $200 by the time it was shipped to me.If you need one bad enough you might look them up,this place is in Vacaville Ca I think,your welcome.

wow, $200 for a switch. I'm sure glad that I have always pressed the clutch all the way down before turning the key!
