Electrical Part Identification

[nastety92]

Good morning,

Could someone please help me identify what this part is called? I put a red arrow pointing to the part.

I would have called it the electrical bulkhead. Looking to replace this on my 67 Suburban.



Thanks,
Nick

The fuse box 3 pieces 1 inner 2 under hood all connect together ,are you looking to replace all of it or just 1 section ? Become a subscribing member and post a Want To Buy ad in the classified section .

Yes I'm looking to replace all three pieces. I was hoping a to find a reproduction part that is brand new to replace it with? Does anyone make one, like LMC?

Bulkhead is another name for firewall.
Your arrow is pointing to the bulkhead Connector, but most of what you see is the engine harness plug and headlight harness plug that are plugged into the bulkhead connector.
The bulkhead connector is part of the dash harness and includes the fuse block. I think that is the only way I have seen them sold and many include an aftermarket fuse block.

Image from the forum electrical section shows the bulkhead connector and fuse panel sans the wiring.

That giant hole next to the connector would cause me more concern.

New/reproduction bulkhead connectors for our trucks are not available. The closest thing would be a replacement wiring harness from someone like AAW. Theirs comes with a fuse block that features modern blade-type fuses.

I've also looked at EZ Wiring harnesses. They come with a fuse block, but rather than a bulkhead connector they have you run a wired bundle through a bulkhead grommet.

If you want the original, you'll have to find a used one in good shape.

And I agree that I wouldn't want that huge hole in my firewall. It's called a firewall for a reason.

Thank you all for the replies. I'll keep on digging.
