My 69 has 2 total. One for the headlights mounted in the center between the two headlights and the washer door relay on the firewall just inboard of the brake booster. I think there was a single headlight vacuum relay until 1970 when it changed to two. Also, 1968 and early 69 had the wiper door vacuum relay by the passenger side inner fender. It was changed to the drivers side firewall mid 69 year.

Hi,
CG is right.
For 71 the wiper door relay location was moved back to the rear of the right side wheel apron and the headlight system continued to use 2 relays located between them mounted on a plate that was crewed to the headlight reinforcement bar.
Regards,
Alan
71… 1 wiper door relay on apron
71…. 2 headlight relays.

Thanks for the replies. Mines a early 69 and there is only one mounted up front between headlights. The other must go on the passenger fender well. There was no provision on mine for it to attach to my brake booster support. Thank

Hi cam,
Typically there's a plate riveted to the fiberglass apron on the wheel side of the apron that has two holes that the relay mounting screws tighten in to.
This the plate and location on a 71.
