    no single carb cars have a main relay not an 86, or a 87, not an 88 hell not even then 89. so NO. the carb cars have a fuel pump cut off relay on the back of the cabin fuse box, which wont be of any use to you.

    I'd buy a new relay anyway. About $40 and I think they improved the solder joints over the original ones due to massive failures.

    the relay controls the pump and the injection unit , since carbed cars do have injection ! so no relay !
