Re: [AMC-List] Emission Maintenance Timers

["Swygert, Francis G MSgt 436 CES/CECM" <Francis.Swygert3@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think it's the same thing Tom. The maintenance timer I pulled
from a 87 Jeep Comanche was a gear driven unit, looked a lot like a
small battery powered clock. I think that's what he's looking for. I
threw it in a parts box since the vehicle had a little over 50K on the
clock, but it's no where near. The junkyard should be full of them --
87-90 Renix system Jeeps use them, and I believe GM cars with carbs and
computers (pre OBD) use them as well. AMC sourced most emission controls
from GM or GM suppliers.

What's wrong with a junkyard?

The part is amusing; it seems to be a common fuze for bombs also.
Tourists (I think that's how it's currently spelled) use them.

It's basically a chemical device, like a tube with metal and
an electrolyte,  that moves metal from one end to the other by
passin current through it; like a little electroplating thing,
or the opposite of a battery.

"Elapsed time" meters for things like xerox copiers use 'em;
for that app they look like a little mercury thermometer.
