I have been attempting to repair one of these for another member, and I find it just about impossible. But, your car is a 6 volt car, so you must replace it with one from another 6 volt car. Certainly the one from the 56 DeSoto will not work, as that is a 12 volt car. The actual function of the relay is quite simple, and it could be replaced with any heavy duty 6 volt starter relay. The problem is to find something that can fit in the original can, and so far, I've come up blank.

I am looking for a starter relay. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I have found a couple starter relays out of a 55 or 56 Desoto with the 331 in it but they look alot different. Does anyone know if that one will work? Or where I might be able to get a new one? Or of someone who can rebuild it?
