I just recently replaced my original horn relay also, well built parts to hold up under that hot hood, dirt and water all those years.
I replaced the start relay with a Standard Motor Products unit - it's nearly identical. Maybe Standard was the original supplier in '65. I also got a SMP horn relay but it looks different from the original - I will be hunting down a correct one. Looks like the old design may have been replaced, I found a couple "correct" ones on ebay.
Don't know if anyone cares but the SMP p/n for the horn relay is HR-135. It physically looks different than an original but will probably do the job. The Mopar p/n is 2291436. I found an NOS Echlin relay that looks identical to the original - right down to the goldish colored plating, p/n HR-126. 14 bucks shipped...me like ebay.
We do care, can you list that in the part numbers thread Mike fixed up for us? Thanks
Cleaned & detailed the headlight/park lamp harness, moved the headline ground wire to the front of the radiator support. Removed the fan to start detailing it.
2513Condition of fan now.
If you could lightly sandblast or glass bead and "hit" it with a rattle can!!
Drove it to work today.
Sure happy with the handling with sway bars on now
