Which relay is it? (was: Death by Starting)

In my quest to resolve my starting problem on my '78B, by swapping out 
ignition relays, I was in checking wires and with my new-and-improved 
lighting I realized there are TWO relays.  They appear to be physically 
identical and have identical markings.  I hadn't noticed the second one due 
to the previously-poor lighting, coupled with its location near my hood 
brace (this car does not have an original hood brace, and the current brace 
is poorly position and keeps the hood low and, apparently, obscures a relay 
from view).

The setup is like so:

WINDSHIELD

RELAY (2)

FUSE BLOCK

RELAY (1)

RADIATOR/FRONT OF CAR

I've been working on relay (1), and swapping it out did not alleviate the 
problem.  I just noticed relay (2).  I will try swapping that one out, but 
my question is, which relay is which?  Have I simply been working on the 
wrong relay?

Thanks
