I know that the late one is 890. What is the earlier one 862, 889? Thanks.

The change date in the A.I.M. (which is only the date the sheet was revised, not when the part actually changed in production) is March 3rd, but it occurred prior to that; my 02D car has its original 890 relay. :thumbsup:

That is not an absolute statement. My 69 Z built 3B has a 862 relay and a short spoiler. At this point meaning 3B build date it should have had neither, but it did. Now if I was restoring a car built in March or later I would use a 890 relay. I only point it out because it could and did happen at least once.

Man, this subject sure got fired-up when I posted a picture of my ORIGINAL horn relay. Yep, the only time It's ever been touched is when I added a wire to it. Still works perfectly too. So what's the 'number' of this guy? It has no numbers that I've found using a mirror. It's never been off, so I don't want to start now. Oh, mine's a May car from Norwood.

Fred - here we go again. 
Your relay is a Eichlin relay -- from NAPA.
Your car was damaged before retail delivery -
i believe that part was changed without you knowing.
The 890 relays were always black plastic.
The 862's were made in both black and white plastic configurations.
Those 2 numbers function exactly the same.

Ya know Jeff, if I didn't order my car and pick it up the day after it came off of the truck, I would probably just shrug and say 'oh, OK'.

If it reads Delco Remy on the top - it will have a number.

the 890's and 862's are stamped on the front of the mounting tab...
Also stamped 12V.
Earlier styles 837's (66-67) and 824's (63-65) were stamped on the underside.

Well Jeff,,,,,, Hmmm. Let's see now. You're selling horn relays on ebay and claiming them to be nos. Hmmm. But mine can't be original because it doesn't match what you're selling. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Fred, I know youve had the car since new, but that isn't an original relay. I've seen many originals, and have purchased a few repos/replacements. It has all the appearance of the over-the-counter replacement relay. When/why it was swapped, I surely dont know.
I know the "never say never" argument, but there hasnt been another "original" car with that style relay as far as I know.
