I have this part that I found laying inside of my engine bay and I don't remember if I took it off of something or if it was already laying in there. I'm trying to figure out what it is, looks like a switch of some kind. It's from a 56 chevy 3600.

Yep, brake light switch, but it looks like it's really junk.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

You probably have a new one already on it. It mounts low on the fire wall engine side under the brake pedal lever. It was probably replaced & the old one left in there.

It looks like there's a piece of rusty cab metal attached to it. Is there a big hole in the firewall close to the pedals?
