Ok,,, am in the process of cleaning garage/workbenches/toolboxes, I had this on a 63 Ford Truck instrument cluster I bought a while back, been meaning to take a pic and find out what it is!

Has 49166-2 or 49155-2 and R-12v B-63 on it...was on back of instrument cluster i bought..supposedly out of a 63 Ford truck...

 

Part of a governor setup

 

Looks like it fits between the cluster and the speedo cable. Could it be a governor of some kind?

 

Yes, it was on back of speedo,,, never thought about governor,,, hmmmm

 

B9TF-17294-E .. Speedometer Adapter with built in solenoid-used with 2 speed rear axle.

 

And what would the purpose of it be Bill? All 2 speeds I have driven (many) have had the solenoid energizer on the stick. Up or down for high or low. Is this some kind of lockout so you can't shift the 2 speed if going to fast?

 

It changes the speedo so the odo and speed read rite depending weather in direct or low side of axle. Mine sticks in low after shift to direct sometimes.

 

Thanks, makes perfect sense now. I never thought about that fact.

 

Cool... soooo, does anyone need it?!

 

Put 'er on eBay and list it as "rare" and "L@@K!". Should go high.

 

Oohhh,,, yes,, Rare and L@@K ALWAYS get my attention!! Hadn't thought of that!! Thanks!

 

That's what we're here for haha. Gotta love FTE, that thing would have been a head scratcher otherwise.

 

Only had it for a couple of years and been scratching my head!

THANKS Bill!!
