Default Starter Relay

As much as I've torn my car apart, I've seen the wiring go to it on the passengers side, but I've never actually found it.
I've tried searching online already and came up with notta..

Does someone have a picture they can post of where this thing actually is and what it looks like?

Thanks.

Merv

It's cool.

What it controls is the VATS..I have the VATS disabled, so I'm re-wiring that Relay to be part of the Neutral Safety Circuit for my T56 Swap, it will be controlled by the Switch on the Clutch Petal.

Very good pic.

I ripped that out and re-ran the wiring that went to it. Basically I just connected the Starter Signal Wire to the Ignition Switch..they are the wires that are on Pin #30 and #87.
For my car it was the purple wire going to the Harness C-210 Connector and a yellow wire that came from under the dash eventually back to the Ignition Switch in the start position. There was another 12ga wire on that Relay, that was the ground so don't get it confused.
