My 66 230 has the thermo switch in the location you are showing. I didn’t know it was removed or relocated for 67.

I suppose you could buy a plug - probably an Allen wrench type. But Dirk's got it, are you really sure your car didn't originally come with the TTS?

Yes, the empty hole is for a "thermo time switch" and not the additional "time switch" sensor used on the early 230SLs.  All pagodas use the "thermo time switch". Only the earliest versions 230SL used both the "time switch" and "thermo time switch".

Mine is a  1965 230 SL  Attached please see a photo of mine with two terminals with pink to one and pink and blue to the other. ( Ignore the green wire which goes to ground to bypass my failed TTS)
