Lookin for a part for a 78 trans am

[ERIC87442]

I'm in need of some help locating a part for one of my customers. Im looking for a distributor spark thermal vacuum switch (ds-tvs) for a 1978 pontiac trans am 6.6l 400ci. Anyone know of where i could find such thing? I checked carquest, napa, rockauto, and yearone with no luck.

Not sure if this is right but....http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1978/p ... witch.html

Worth a shot anyways. They didn't have a choice of Trans Am so I picked Firebird, didn't ask to specify engine either...

Or http://www.theautopartsshop.com/distrib ... 1370c.html

This one actually listed the 6.6 in the fitment guide and it's ACDelco.

Is this the ported vacuum switch that screws into the P/S head? One of theses should work. Look in RockAuto under "1978 PONTIAC FIREBIRD 6.6L 400cid V8 : Electrical-Switch & Relay : Ported Vacuum Switch" You need the one that is normally closed. I'm not sure of the actual part#.

Nope, it has two ports on it, it is the one that screws into the p/s head.
