Title: Overdrive relay conector
Post by: 54manhattan13 on October 18, 2016, 01:22:38 PM

Wanted........ overdrive relay conector.  Want to use it on a 54 Manhattan but I believe that they are all the same.

If you are looking for the 4 slot ceramic one, they are typically $75-$100 since most got broken throughout the years.

I never saw a "ceramic"one. Everyone I ever saw, and I've seen many, was plastic.  I've heard others claim they were ceramic so I'm curious if you have seen one you know for sure was ceramic Terry?  I'd just like to know.
And Terry is correct, they are hard to find.

They are plastic,but some of them are so brittle they break and leave powdery residue like a ceramic one would. I have several but can not get to them until spring.

When I have needed one I did not use the stock  relay and socket. I chose to use a   modern 6  v. relay and socket from ebay @ about $18.00 and ran the wires under the dash.It ain't cheating if they don't catch you!
