862 horn relay

[m22mike]

When did 862 horn relays start showing up ? That's the one with the clear plastic base and key reminder. I know it was used through early 69.

Officially,1969 models saw the release of the #862...clear base w/metal tang.
1970 saw the release of the #890...black base w/metal tang.
1971 saw the release of the #889...black base w/plastic tang.
It wouldn't surprise me if some very early/late builds within those years came with the former/later.

Mike,

My April built 69 SS Chevelle has the black base relay.

I have an 03E Camaro with a BLACK base 1115862 relay and and 05C Camaro with a black base 1115890 relay, both very original cars.

My June built 69 Z has a 889 black base,not sure if it's original to the car,but it looks like it is.

My 07E 68 has it's born with 862....Then again it also has it's non accessory drilled 041 heads also. Lot's of new 69 stuff at the tail end of the 68 run. I think the question is when did they start in 68. If my 68 had it I'd bet all 69's started with them.

I would bet so to. Grady's Nov built 69 Nova had a white 862, it sure was not rocket science was it..
