The Ford/Mopar thing is stupid. The "Ford" type solenoid has been used on everything from Fords to industrial equipment and everything in between. To even associate it with "Ford" is a stretch, although I understand why, since so many Fords used them. But add in all the other applications they were/are used in and Ford's uses pale in comparison. It is not a bad design and if you circumvent the neutral safety issue, the "Ford" solenoid is certainly an upgrade.
