Dan,
Could be the relay but......
For what its worth I had the same problem with my 70 B. Fuel pump worked, as
did the instruments, but turn the key to start and nothing. I thought it was
the relay too until I checked with folks on the list. Even though I cleaned
the battery connections someone suggested I remove and clean the cables
because apparently even a small amt. of corrosion can be problematic.
I found the corrosion hidden between the ground cable and the connection to
the body. Cleaned it up and no issues. Cheap fix.

According to Astley, it could be the battery (no, because I had

switch, the fuel pump runs and instruments work) or the

something hot (it isn't attached to the inner wing, just wedged into a
