Sure it's not there? It's located near the ashtray on the passenger side of the car and not on the back of the cluster.
They share the same relay with the E-body, so get out your wallet.

I've got one, NOS, with a harness. I'll have to dig it out of my storage locker.

There was only one relay above the ash tray in the middle I found. I think it`s the key buzzer realy, right.
The low fuel relay is nowhere.
One thing is very strange:
The car was untouched/modified when I got it from the US except for that:
Sombody cut the dark blue minus cable coming from the sender in the fuel tank and connected it directly to the chassis ground. The "Gasoline" meter was
obviously not working together with the warning light "Low fuel". I also did not find a Low fuel signal relay. All cables and the relay is missing. There was only the voltage limiter at cluster plate.
I think I need definitly an original low fuel relay with the harness. On ebay I found nothing original, the one I bought earlier is not working, see picture.
So I hope Bluefury361 has one for me.

Not to be a smart ***, but did you check if the bulb is good?
If there's a voltage limiter on the cluster, and the car is "untouched", then it was never equipped with the optional "low fuel" alert.
The low fuel relay has a voltage limiter in it, so there's no reason for the voltage limiter on the cluster. Note that in the picture from the FSM that you have posted, you've highlighted in yellow "with low fuel signal, remove voltage limiter".
So, you aren't missing it, it was never there to start with.
A picture of the back of the cluster from my '70 300. Note the empty slots for the voltage limiter.
And a picture of the relay, showing location etc. from my car.
Pics (from the internet) showing the internals. You can see the low fuel contacts and the voltage limiter contacts (called pulsed on the pic"
The cluster will have the "low fuel" light location regardless of how it was optioned.
If you really want to add it, you'll need the relay along with the harness. You'll have to remove the existing voltage limiter.

I did.
I think there was a problem many, many years ago and the solution was to connect the DBL cable from the tank to the chassis ground.

Big_ John, Ithink "Low Fuel" it is a nice feature, the 500 cid inside the car is very thirsty...
Thank you for all the pictures!

I'm looking at this to add a low fuel warning light. As an added bonus it will help correct the gauge accuracy in the event of an inaccurate sender;
TechnoVersions - MeterMatch for Analog Gauge Correction
TechnoVersions - MeterMatch for Analog Gauge Correction
I've done it and really like the results. Gas Gauge Fix
To use it with a incandescent bulb in the stock location, you'll have to add a relay as the MeterMatch can't handle the current needed. No big deal... In fact, the relay starts clicking to remind you (read drive you crazy) that you need to gas up.
