Cowl Induction Throttle Switch – 1970–1972 Chevelle El Camino | Also Fits TH400 Turbo 400 Applications | OE-Style Replacement | X-Parts by AMD
Restore proper cowl induction operation on your classic GM muscle car with this OE-style Cowl Induction Throttle Switch for 1970–1972 Chevrolet Chevelle and El Camino models equipped with factory Cowl Induction systems. This high-quality reproduction switch is designed to accurately replicate the original factory throttle-activated switch used to control the functional cowl induction hood flapper assembly.
Engineered for precise OE-style fitment and dependable electrical operation, this switch activates the cowl induction system during heavy throttle acceleration, helping restore authentic factory performance and functionality. Original switches commonly fail due to worn contacts, corrosion, or age-related deterioration, resulting in improper cowl flap operation or inconsistent activation.
In addition to cowl induction applications, this versatile switch also functions as the correct transmission kickdown switch for many 1970–1989 GM cars and trucks equipped with the Turbo 400 (TH400) automatic transmission, making it a valuable OE-style replacement for multiple GM restoration and repair applications.
Manufactured for durability and factory-style appearance, this reproduction throttle switch is ideal for concours restorations, restoration projects, or replacing damaged original components on classic GM muscle cars and trucks.
Offered as an X-Parts component by AMD, this cowl induction throttle switch delivers the fit, appearance, and functionality expected for premium GM restoration work.
