Ford Starter Solenoid

[WildJones]

For those of you who have added a Ford Starter Solenoid, which one did you use or where did you order from? I looked on Rockauto for '69 302 mustang starter solenoid and they have all kinds ranging from $5 to $20, standard duty vs heavy duty. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I guess my question is why ?
 ford starters work differently & the solenoid shunts a lot more power than the Mopar

I'd like to move my battery to the trunk for weight distribution. With a Ford Starter Solenoid the wire that runs to the starter wouldn't be hot all the time, only when cranking. This seems like a wise decision when making a long run of cable that will run high current. Chrysler uses one for Jeep I believe that I would not mind using, but don't know which model to look at.

                          I've done that in the past on Pro Street cars, battery in trunk. I just went to Auto Zone, purchased a solenoid for a 69 Cobra Jet Mustang.  Never a problem. Be aware that the solenoid grounds thru its mounting bolt holes, I always run an additional ground wire.
