'56 DeSoto is 12 volt, negative ground. '55 and earlier (including your '53 Imperial) are 6 volt, positive ground. That is unless there has been an electrical conversion.

I can't seem to find one anywhere. I have found a couple starter relays out of a 55 or 56 Desoto with the 331 in it but they look alot different. Does anyone know if that one will work? Or where I might be able to get a new one? Or of someone who can rebuild it?
