📐 Function & System Role

The Corvair’s early heating system used a gasoline‑fired heater, separate from engine heat. This switch assembly:

• Controls heater ignition

• Regulates heater operation

• Mounts to the heater control bracket

• Interfaces with the heater safety system

This system was discontinued after 1963, making these parts extremely rare.
