T242 - Ricer ricer
Doing a major garage reorganization/sorting/condensing. Something I’ve been wanting to do since 2005. Came across a lot of specialty tools from years gone by. Many of which mechanics of last 20 years probably have no clue what they are. Thought I’d post a few pics to see who’s old enough to know what they are.

Up 1st and yes this is an official AC Delco tool:

BINGO! You got it Roger. Wow, that was fast!


In more detail: Early 1980s, GMs very 1st computerized ignition/fuel management system called CCC (Computer Command Control). Used this "key" to short 2 terminals on the under dash connector (think OBD2 connector but smaller). Shorting the terms would activate onboard diagnostics and give a blink code on the CEL.
 
This one’s not a tool but has a specific use. No, it’s not a random piece of plastic. Hint: anyone wrenching Class 8 should know.

Butt plug for a Camaro owner....

or a bellhousing 'centering'/starter bolt.

(IIRC SBF bellhousing bolts are 7/16")

Ok, so no one got this one, here is answer:


It’s used to retain a small block Chevy (carberated) fuel pump drive rod so it doesn’t drop down and impede installation when replacing fuel pump
