Vacuum Relay Question
I recently purchased a 1969 427 that has had all the vacuum wiper door hardware removed. I need to find a picture ,of what the bracket that holds the vacuum relay to the firewall looks like. I see nothing there that lines up with the mounting holes on the relay and I also checked and there is also no mounting plate on the rh inner fender. My car is a Sept 1969 car. Thanks in advance

I have an AIM for 69, take a look this evening if nobody chimes in with the correct location.

The vacuum actuator relay in 1968 is located on the passenger's inner fender apron. Around the beginning of March 1969 it was moved to the driver’s side of the firewall near the hood latch. This tended to catch on the hood release cable; therefore, the mounting tab closest to the firewall was cut off. Beginning approximately July 1969, the position of the relay was moved closer to the firewall and the tab was not trimmed.
AIM = Assembly Instruction Manual
It was used at the factory by the assembly line workers. It is a small condensed version of what was used.
Many aftermarket suppliers sell them here a few.
