Need help identifying part

Post by ervinn »

Need help identifying part from a 1976 Fiat Spider 124. Anyone know what the indicator lens was that is missing beside the brake indicator lens?

I saw one in a wrecking yard that had a "Slow Down" light there. I have no idea what a Slow Down light is though. My friend bought it just to have it because it was so odd.

The slow down light was from a thermo couple in the catalectic converter, commonly found on the California emissions cars of that era. When the catalyst became too hot from "spirited" driving the light was to come on and tell the driver to "slow down" and let it cool off.

I think you're right DocGraphics, I came across the picture I've posted below which shows the warning lights on the dash. Not sure what year that car is but is similar to my 1976 Fiat Spider 124. Thanks for your help. :)
