Q: Ford Solenoid Switch in Lieu of Mopar Starter Relay?

LOL, or "it ain't funny" these parts are getting pretty bad. I don't drive much at night. A brand new NAPA dimmer in the 67 didn't last 50 "punches."

It`s apparent that most of u guys know more about this stuff than I do. the reason I used a ford relay , was because I had to on my 406 vega, because of the heat thing, so I auto matically did one on my total rewire of the fish. it also was the easiest to locate at the end of the "free" welding cable (length) that was given to me for the rear mounted battery. I have the original I think, mopar relay that came in the pile of stuff w/ the car (basket case)
as soon as I get the car out of the body shop, I`ll try the mopar relay, or the AMC one.
thanks for the info --bob
