Mystery Box

[Peter Roberts]

Can anyone identify the box shown. I found it under the foot board on stripping the car. It was not connected to anything. I have removed an American fitted alarm system and think it may be connected.

Looks to be a power supply to provide 12 volts, and in this application from 6V input. It is most likely related to the alarm system.

I would see the instructions.

Yep my car had one too, but in my case for the radio. All gone now but it is useful to power a timing light when adjusting the distributor.

What a clever idea. My timing light is 12v and I was wondering how I could set the timing on this car

Yes Peter, I keep my 6v - 12v converter in a small bag with the timing light in the tool set. I also have in the garage, a fan cooled transformer out of an old computer that outputs a nice 12 volts for the timing light.
