It's not a very good view but I think it's a horn relay.

Ya, its got 3 big wires coming off it. Its mounted right above teh column. The wires come right off the fuse block.

Horn relay.. Awesome.. thanks guys.

FYI the voltage regulator is under the hood, attached to the core support on the drivers side.

Thank you. I dont think i have a regulator. I think the PO when he put the I6 in updated the regulator. I just have an internally regulated alternator now with my 454 and since i sold my I6 i cant really 100% verify if that was external or internal. I do not have that box with the wires coming off it though.

I had a local shop covert my alt to a one wire, internally regulated unit. They also wound it to 100 amps

Cool. Ya mine is internally reg.d now. I think the po upgraded his and did that already... I dont have a regulator anywhere in that engine compartment so thats my guess. I will just have to check when im wiring everything up.
