engine compartment relay bracket

When I was installing my Turbo motor, I was looking for the relay brackets. I found the bracket in the passenger foot area, but the bracket under the fusible links eluded me because there were no relays there. Only this silver box. I found more relays under the passenger seat and the fuel pump relay under the dash. Is there any reason for this? Why the deviation from the standard practice? and what is this silver box?

You can't compare the 77 and 78 relay bracket. MUCH was changed in that area for 78 with the fuel pump relay set moving to that bracket PLUS new special FI fusible links hanging on the bracket. Poor Alex is confused enough. 

 

The silver thing is the voltage reg.  Even that changed in 78, ie no more Vreg, alternators went internally reg'ed.

My bad . Didn't know that much changed between 77 and 78 . That's why I noted the model year , just in case . I'm glad they made the change .

That would explain it! I have a hard copy of a 78 fsm, and didn't realize they had made so many changes between years when I got it. I was looking in my copy of the 78 and finding it to be different than what I was seeing. I had to download a copy of the 77 just to find what NewZed was talking about (not to mention I wasn't looking at the components diagram but at a specific picture that showed relays attached to the bracket). 

Thanks for clearing up my issue!
