What's this on the firewall?

Hi All,
I was looking around the engine bay for a good place to mount a universal windshield washer pump and saw this on the firewall. What is it? It's near the power brakes on a 71 c10. Thanks!

Thanks,
Jeff

That is the tcs ( transmission controlled spark ) setup. You can search for more information if you want. See this thread

as it has some good info.

Like Daddy'O said, it's the TCS relays. Throw them out. if anyone wants to buy a set they can have mine.

Excellent. Thanks, all! Seems like that'll make the perfect spot for a new washer pump once that relay is removed. Appreciate it.

Deleted the TSC relay in favor of a working windshield washer pump. Thanks for the info, all!
