914 Rubber round relays vs. old oem round relays..., Looking for some reviews on the new ones....comments? Options

[second wind]

Hello family....I bought some of the 914 Rubber round relays when they came out but also have about 20 of the original round relays. For some reason I am having intermittent relay failure in my engine compartment relay board. When I realize that my fuel pump is not going on I swap a few relays and then the pump will run again. The primary theory is that the pins are not making good contact in the board sockets. I have cleaned everything and tried spreading the pins open a bit but still having an occasional failure. I am thinking that using brand new relays should be a better idea than trusting 50 year old relays....what say you?
Thank you very much,

Try the 914 Rubber ones. I had a prolem with the ones I bought until I spread the pins on them. Carry spare relays. Don't keep playing musical chairs with your relays you will never be able to narrow down what the problem is.
