A simple thing that worked out perfectly.

Hi All: I know this is pretty insignificant, but I just love it when stuff like this happens. Recently, the factory original horn relay on my 1974 Duster failed. I searched around trying to find one at NAPA or O'Reilly Auto Parts, but couldn't locate the correct one. So I went to e-Bay and made an amazing find. My original horn relay is part number 3764775, date coded 2113 (Monday, July 30 1973). Amazingly, I found one being sold by Chet's Auto Parts that was not only the same part number, but manufactured on the same day. What's the chance of finding a 48 year old NOS part made on the same day at the same factory as the original? So I bought it, my horn works perfectly and I have Chet to thank. I love keeping the originality of my car, and if I can't have the factory original part then a perfect replacement is the next best thing. See photos below of the original, the replacement, and the two side by side. Thanks for reading my story. Cheers to all!

Shout out to Chets Auto parts!
I love it when dates line up.
The last Dart I was interested in had a production date of my wife's birthday. Of course I had to buy it, and my wife loves it too.
