Relays

What are the two relays on the right side of the brake booster on the firewall? 2.8 firebird barn find with rat chewed wiring looks like this is going to take a while to repair. They even ate wires to turn signals and couple plug wires.

Re: Relays

I believe that they are A/C clutch and fuel pump. Which year car would also help narrow it down.

Re: Relays

I know one is the fuel pump, and on mine (88) the other was MAF.

Re: Relays

once you hit 7psi of oil pressure the bypass will kick the pump on. It can wait if needed, it will run without a working relay.
