I'm a newbie and thought this was a starter relay on my '77 - see first picture.
If not a starter relay, what is it? Thanks.

Glad you solved your problem colonel328.

That pic shows a starter relay, but it's not factory, that's an add on.

Thanks for clearing that mystery '75. And I thought my car was stock!

Those are all excellent posts. I have a brand new starter and blanket ready to go but my schedule has been a nightmare lately I have not had time to change it out. I hope within the next month I will have it replaced.
