Going to install a 6V 3 terminal Ford Solenoid/Relay in my '74 2.0L. I've read all the many arguments for and against it, and have decided to install it.
Does anyone know the proper gauge wire for the 3 connections?? Are a #6 and 2 #10's enough? Also, are the 2 large Ford terminals interchangeable or is 1 terminal designated from the battery and the other to the spade on the stock 914 solenoid?? Paul |

I think the spade on the left is the one you want. Ohm it out to confirm. You can use a 9v batt to test on the bench. IIRC, it takes < 4V to open a Ford solenoid.
Bet you never read a complaint from someone that has one installed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
