When I originally built my LS1 conversion car, I didn't add a relay for the starter solenoid (to save the ignition switch). I can retrofit one quite easily, however what rating of relay is really necessary? I have a 30 amp, which would seem to me to be plenty good to activate the solenoid. Thoughts?

Personally I'll always be in the Ford solenoid (relay) camp.
Always works, fast, cheap, no cutting of wires or drilling holes. Been using them for almost 30 years, all my aircooleds have one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
