Default What is this part?

I attempted to rewire some of my 1973 corvette's wiring and when I went to turn the switch I got the good fortune of this part going up in smoke. I obviously need to replace it but cannot tell what it is and cannot find a part number. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated because the car will not start without this (Although that may not be related, I haven't looked for any other shorts but will tomorrow).

You wouldn't happen to know where I could order that online? or the part number?

Thanks for the quick response!

I can find it up to 71 and then from 74 on. The one up to 71 is similar but has two metal terminals rather than the one central one. And the 74 just looks completely different.

If your not concerned about an exact part, I think the earlier year will function the same. Willcox will be able to tell you if the 71 will work.

For what its worth I managed to find one off of ebay. But to anyone else in my situation the part is discontinued without replacement.

I never found out if the previous year's relay would work or not though.
