Anyone know what this box in my engine bay is??

1962 Cadillac. Obviously doesn't look stock.

 

great scott man haven't you ever seen a time machince

 

It looks like it's just there to hold misc parts. Points, fuses, whatever you deem necessary to cruise the blvd.

 

thats wierd lookin, what are the wires going to? it looks like a fluid was in there

 

It has a cable going from the bottom of the box into a rubber grommet through the firewall. I haven't tracked it yet, just getting some info before I start diggin. I was really hoping it was a flux capacitor.

 

scrap it man

 

The larger cylindrical object on the right looks like a Mk4 Flux capacitor...oughta put yer mileage in the 40's.

Charlie

 

Have you hit 88 mph yet?

 

looks like an amplifier... is there a speaker connected to it?

 

Dude, you beat me to it! Hahahahahaha! Actually, that's not exactly correct. That is the time beam partical metabolizer console, which enables the car itself to be a time machine. Geeeeez, saying that makes me feel like the scientist in Back to the Future.

 

I'll have to check, if it is it's inside somewhere. That's what i thought also... some old
skool amp for the speakers?

 

it may be an alarm

 

looks like something left over from an OLD electrical accessory... a vacuum tube, crude open coil, and that piece at 5 o clock.... i've seen similar inside of T.V.s

 

Yup its coming out, whatever it is all it does now is make a ton of noise (squeaking) when driving.

 

Dealer add-on echo-plex for the speakers? They had an add-on gizmo ('scuse my techical jargon) it'll be a knob rolled back under the dash to the right of the drivers' knee.

 

I am with the guys who think its a Flux capacitor, check and see if it puts out 1.21 jiga watts!! If you decide not to run it i would like to have it for my sedan!

 

Might be the automatic high beam dimmer controls.

 

If you go back in time can you tell Lorena from my 5th grade class that I always had the hot's for her. Damn I should have married that one.

 

Naa my 62 has auto dim and not one of these little gems

 

On a side note, how can I get a picture under my name like all of you. Is it just cause i'm a newbie?

 

control module for the chain driven headlights.......

 

probably a garage door opener transmitter. serious....they were huge before transistors got cheap enough to use in them

 

Yo here is a pic of my 62 you can run that. Ha Ha

 

I figured it out Nice car though! I'm sure i'll have more questions for you.. haha. I've had mine for about 3 months now so i'm deep in the "figuring out" stage.

 

no troubles dude. i have been all threw cads from 49-66 man I know a bit just ask

 

You gona sell it on Ebay?

 

Mr. 6duece (very unusual name, did they kid you a lot about it in school?),

Any chance it is to hold the windshield washer bottles?

Maybe it holds dryer sheets.

 

It's not an early electronic ignition kit is it?

 

Then it must be some kind of electronic mouse control........
