Firewall Relay Question ???
There is a small relay on the firewall of my 70 C-10. It is located to the left of the distributor facing the firewall. Every time I hook up the battery is starts clicking. Nothing is on inside the truck. My new battery keeps going down and I don't know what this relay is. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I think it is drawing down my battery but I don't know what the relay is for. My 68 Camaro and 72 Cutlass don't have these relays. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Chevy Garage |

Try unplugging it. It isn't stock, so it shouldn't bother the normal operation. Maybe even follow the wires?

That should be for emissions. It controlled a valve mounted on your manifold that would allow or not allow vacuum to your distributor. I have seen several 70's with this. Unplug it and see if your problem goes away.
The other thing I always check first is the horn relay. Does your horn work? If it doesn't it could be the horn relay and it generally takes about 3 days to drain a battery.
