I had forgotten that that relay was shown in one of the Bentley 
diagrams. I think I MAY have seen exactly one of those 68-9 cars with 
that early CSV system on it, and that one may have been in a 
junkyard. As you said, most of the 68-9 cars came without it.

My '68, which didn't have the CSV, still had a cold weather flooding 
problem. I got around that by unplugging the fuel pump relay until 
the engine fired a couple times, then quickly plugging it back in. 
That required a lot of 2 hands plus 1 foot coordination. The REAL fix 
was to replace the early A brain with a B.
