electrical and ignition Mystery Circuit Board

['76mintgrün'02]

I recently purchased a pile of parts from the owner of a '72 tii, I am wondering what this one is...

Thanks, Tom

No ideas regarding the circuit board, but that tubular metal gizmo looks like a detonator.  Probably best to leave that at home when you visit the airport at Thanksgiving.

Ah, maybe it is a vehicle security device... James Bond style.

Interesting. I think it's not tii-related tho.

 

Interested to know just what it is...

 

Cheers,

Not sure if this is it but if you google that number 3230C354 in the upper left hand corner, it comes up as a control board for a heat pump or furnace.

Defrost control board for a heat pump, definitely not 2002 related.

The metal cylindrical item looks like a thermocouple.

HA!  I tried that number on Real OEM... now I know why nothing came up.  The holes in the upper corners do  look like roundels tho... sort of.  I guess it is of no use for my car, or wood stove for that matter.  Now if I can just figure out how to mark this thread "Answered"....

 

Thank you for taking the time.  Tom

I think Ingramlee hit the nail on the head.  The device with the leads is probably a thermometer.  G

You could run that thermocouple on something. They're always fun to keep around....

I agree.  Someone most likely was swapping out a control board on their HP or furnace and this one got tossed into the box.

'not a car part... not need to keep it... wait, what's that you say?'

 Thank you Roadhog, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Edited November 15, 2013 by '76Mintgrun'02

Or this?

 

 

 

A 200F spread on a race motor at idle would be at the limit but we use individual K-series thermocouples. Infrared "guns" have never proved accurate enough for measuring exhaust temps on our application.

I sent an inquiry to the guy I got it from and will chime in if it is at all '02 related.

Sorry for the off topic post.

Depending on that thermocouples working range you could program a gauge or multimeter to show your exhaust temps. I run a thermocouple in my diesel

I just sent/got a reply from the source.
Inquired:
"Hi, This circuit board was amongst the stuff I got from you. [photo] I googled the number in the upper left corner and it says it is a thermocouple for a heat pump. Could it be that it is part of your mother's heating system and got put in car parts by mistake? Or is it possible that your father used it for engine analysis, or something? I don't know what it was for and want to make sure it is not something you'd need. By the way, I still have the black strut bearing cap for the passenger side of your car. Tom"
Answered:
"You know, that's too funny. My mom has an older Coleman pump. We have replaced that part already. I encourage you to eBay it without known condition (only since I am unaware of it). I can't garentee a huge profit but due to the older nature of the circuit board it is repairable. List it for 20 bucks and see what happens. If all else fails I will take it off your hands."

 

I am sending it back to him.

PM me your address and I will send you your very own gas cap gasket shim!

 

...now where is that "ANSWERED" button?
