Relays amperage rating - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello:

I am trying to make my own custom fuse/relay box from a fuse box that I got from junkyard but I am having hard time to find the amperage rating for the relays that were inside the box. When I google the part numbers the specs doesn't show anything about the amperage rating. I was wondering if there is any specific area that anybody knows I can find the info. I am looking for Omron relays # 7234 (12177234), 7236 (12177236)and 8567 (12088567)
Thanks

Thank you Accelo. Where do you get this info since I couldn't find anything. I am going to use Ford Taurus two speed fan for my project and I believe at high speed they can have initial draw of 60-70 amps. Do you know of Omron relays (the same size and shape to fit in the same electrical box) with higher amperage rating?
Thanks again

The high amp breakers have a wider blade.
