I have bypassed my factory (non-working) 4 prong speed relay with an aftermarket MSD unit. but would really like to go back to factory orig. Does anybody have a functioning unit (They would like to sell) or know where to get one?

(I acually need two) Multipule cars.

Any help would be great

Michael

You have another W108 chassis car?

Hey Paul,

No I have a W113 car. It uses the same box. (Got rid of my yellow W108 car a while back).

Michael

Does the 1969-280SE have a speed relay? Jim

I believe it does.

Does your box still have the part number visible on the top? If so, I'd recommend you post it. There are different boxes out there. Thx -CTH

Sticker is missing.

Part # 000 545 0832 is the part I'm looking for.

Thanks

Do you have any pictures of it??? Jim

Sorry for the silly question, but what does the speed relay do, exactly?

OK, so a bit of digging and I answer my own question... I gather this is the changeover relay for timing advance. Looks like this picture, on Randy Steele's site:
