Above the battery ther are three round relays and one 21/2 x 21/2 square relay.

What do the three round ones do and what is the sqare one for, it's very rusty looking and may replace?

Thanks

High beams, low beams, horn and the bigger one is the voltage regulator. There is also a spot there for a fog light relay.

The round ones are original, and no longer produced. When you go to buy new ones, you'll get either square plastic or square Bosch metal ones. The metal ones look nicer than the plastic, so I posted up the part number for them a while back. Maybe a search could find it, but I can just be bugged into looking at mine and post it again if you harass me enough.

Is it the same part number for each of the three relays? Mine are disgusting looking and I'd like to replace all of them at the same time

Yup, same thing. I polished mine up a bit as well with some steel wool and metal polish. There's some glare, but you can see mine in this old pic. Ignore the battery and corrosion and crap, I changed that stuff long ago:

Oh, and i don't have the big rectangular voltage regulator because I switched to an alternator with internal reg.

Thanks. I'm planning to do the alternator upgrade this week. I've purchased a reman from BNR on Ebay that puts out 82 amps and has the internal voltage regulator. Adds juice and cleans up the bay a bit.
