Standard Ignition PVS166 Ported Vacuum Switch

Ported Vacuum Switch for OE-Style Emission Control

The Standard Ignition PVS166 is a ported vacuum switch built with a brass core and high-temperature plastic housing to match OEM specification for fit and function. It uses thermal elements to help manage vacuum routing in emission control systems, making it a direct replacement choice for select 1979-1980 Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications.

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PVS166 is engineered as an OE-style ported vacuum switch for vehicles that rely on precise vacuum signal routing for emission control operation. The brass and heat-resistant plastic housing supports durability in underhood conditions, while the thermal design helps the switch respond consistently as temperatures change. This part is a practical replacement for owners servicing a 1980 Chevrolet Citation, 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass, or 1979 Pontiac Sunbird with the correct OE-style configuration.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition 2-29221 and E9073 for the same application.
