What exactly are you looking for? There is no ignition relay.

I am guessing you are looking for the starter relay. Part# for a 1969 4spd car is 2444453. As you probably already know, the relay for an auto trans car has one more terminal than the 4 spd relay. A Google search found the one below and others.

What is the extra terminal for on the automatic?

It is connected to the neutral safety switch to prevent starting in gear. The auto relay can be used on a 4spd car, it just doesn't look "correct" because of the unused terminal. This may be why the OP is looking for a pic. Also, IIRC Chrysler eventually superceded the 4spd relay to the auto one.

You need to ground the unused terminal... No ground=No start...

I guess you could cut and grind the extra terminal and then do an internal ground or spend $65.00 for one that looks like that's been done with a big glob of soldier

The one on my 4-speed '69 GTX is an auto one that someone ran a ground wire to when I first got it, now I know why THANKS! I think I'll do an internal ground and let you know how and if it worked.

There is quite a price range on ebay, lowest one is $17.50 + $5 shipping.

Yes. Starter relay. Thanks for the info. This is what I took off the car. I thought it was an original part but I was not sure.

The one with the extra long bracket is a C body version.

1969 B-body with manual trans is the one on the lower right
