Re: Have a quick question? Ask it here!
Yikes. No way you will just find that thing, youll have to pull it off another car. I was about to offer to sell you mine but I just realized I pitched the rear half of my extra intake... I don't use that on my car, but if I take it out there will be a gaping hole.

Thanks ShiRen, after posting this last night I called a couple auto parts stores and tried to have them look up vacuum switches for the car with zero luck so I figured a wrecking yard might be my only option. Thankfully I know where a couple are. However I know one of them is a manual, will the switch be the same or do I need to get it out of another automatic?
Thanks for the help!

Theres no difference between the auto and manual carbs. Junkyard will be your only place to get this part.

They were pretty popular on alot of cars with carbs. Im sure there is something out there you can buy that will work.

Problem here is Honda probably used a really random thread pitch

I doubt it. Either BSP or standard pipe thread.

MAQ10002 - Mini switch thermostatic vacuum fits in thermostat housing
Distributor vacuum 78 302 - Page 2 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
SWITCH THERMOSTATIC is a good google search start.
I just threw a handful away last year I have had over the years with a bunch of carb junk I didnt remember where it went anymore.
Re: Thermo valve replacement
Well I know forsure where a few are in wrecking yards so I’ll just grab one Saturday. But humor me here, could I reroute the vacuum hoses connected to that switch to another vacuum source or would I just be causing other problems supplying vacuum without that switch?
Thanks everyone!

You have to dig for one that fits the criteria you need. There should be a data sheet listed online for each sensor someplace.
Since its for your choke pull off im sure with some experimenting you could find another vacuum source that would work but it would take alot of experimenting I would think.
