A bit of help, please with my ERA 427

Email or call Bob Putnam or call Doug at ERA. As I recall looking at mine it shouldn't be a particular problem once you get the car up and the coolant drained.
Bob may have a procedure for testing the switch to make sure that's where the problem is before you go to the trouble of pulling it.

Thanks, I used the ERA recommended procedure to test the switch and it is dead, so I need to replace it. But the location seems challenging to me,and before I start I would like to get whatever advice is out there. Bill

You have two choices -- pull the hoses off each end of the bung tube and pull the tube out, or pull the hoses off the other ends and pull the whole two hose one bung tube assembly as a single unit and then pull the bung tube out while it's on your work bench. If you do that, use a Sharpie to mark the orientation of the the bung tube to the two hoses before you pull them.

If you choose to pull the hoses at the bung tube, come in from the front, under the car, over the steering rack. Like this...
