Hello friends! I have acquired some pieces recently that I require help in identifying...

I give you, MYSTERIOUS PIECES OF MYSTERY TERY TEry tery ry...

Tiny pulleys! From where, and what reason have they appeared?
Image

Perhaps these are useful for interrogation...
Image

As would these perhaps..?
Image

Ah yes, a compass mirror! But what devious device has attached itself..?
Image

Hooker headers, for when you really want to blow... This was not in the box originally, but looked like it fit. I COMMAND THEE TO EXPLAIN!
Image

I understand the purpose of the items beheld by this box, but for what reason would they be used on our horseless carriages?!
Image

I traded for this device, and yet have no knowledge of its use.. It appears to have been used... to smite enemies!
Image

For those truly well traveled, I give you this riddle... Three pieces exist with no home. I wish to bring them to life! however... I lack the knoledge of how much magic they require, and where to apply the magic... so many pins!
Image

I see an Alternator pulley. The black plastic piece is from an 87-88 V6 intake setup. That valve body is from a TH125-c with the shift kit.

The plastic piece next to that V6 intake scoop like piece, looks like the switch on the steering column (not sure what it's called) but most of the ignition switch and column harness plugs into this piece.

On my 83 K5 Jimmy, the actuator rod from my ignition switch also fit into this piece on the side to operate some internal parts....I'm very technical this evening, I know :p

The Hooker piece is some sort of header collector flange, possibly a reducer at the end, but It's hard to tell from this picture. If it's 3" diameter, it could be for a SBC or even the smaller BBC headers.

That valve body and transgo kit I would be very interested in, if they were in good condition? If you are selling them that is :D

I think this is whats leftover from the kit installed in my GTU, however there are extra gaskets and I'm not sure what other applications they could be used in. I'm guessing the trans piece is the original stock piece. I have no idea.

-Smaller pulley is for an alternator... larger maybe power steering
-Alternator cooling duct, headlight switch (mounts further down the column)
-Exhaust or intake part, can't tell what the black part is from that picture
-That appears to be an external antenna attached to the mirror, possibly for satellite radio
-3" collector... pretty self-explanatory
-These springs are supposed to make your shocks act stiffer by limiting movement. Useless. Buy stiffer shocks.
-Magical automatic transmission stuff
-I'm clueless on the electronics

It's called the dimmer switch, and that is not one...
