I'm almost completed with my rebuild and have a quick question regarding the ignition relay. If you're not running the stock EFI or stock ignition system (I've updated mine to stand alone units) is this necessary?

Thanks
Cheers

Yes. These circuits are powered off the ignition relay.

Thanks Steve that's what I thought.

Any chance you're talking about the combined EFI/fuel pump relay? It's the one on the driver's side, left of the steering wheel under the dash panel. The ignition relay is over by the fuse box. You mentioned EFI.

What year is the car? That particular relay on a 78 is in the relay box on the RF strut tower. After going back to the thread I see It’s a 76 model.

Yup talking about the ignition relay on the relay box above the fuse box. I'm was tracing down a parasitic draw on my battery and I knew it was coming from this area. It ended up being the horn relay - not sure if its burn out or not but it was on at all times pulling about 2A. I don't believe mine had that relay.
