I'm not sure what I am looking for in a 50amp continuose duty relay for my solid state ignition conversion.

This is not an off the shelf part in the typical auto parts store.

It was suggested that I use a Ford three terminal starter relay and it makes sense.

Three Standard parts were suggested. SS597, SS596, and SS333.

Since I am grouped with the electronically challenged, I have been confused by the 24v capacity, the high reistance on one at 60 ohms, and the diode suspension on the other.

If I am suposed to be looking for a Bosch type four pin with single stud mounting, I need a part number. Can anyone suggest one?

The "book" is about 4 inches thick and I'll be searching for years.

Can anyone throw me a life preserver here? Help!

both four terminal, 12 VDC coil, 50 amp continuously rated contacts, single pole/single throw (SPST)

Starter relays are not continuously rated. They burn out quickly if they are used in such a way. I know from experience.

cowboy from hell
OK. Done. $4 each. Sockets are $.28 each. WOW. What do theses guys supply China?

The only thing is what gauge wire should I use for the "big" wire"? I would think at least a 10 gauge?

This whole thing is a blessing in disguise. My '68 Shelby has had the same voltage problems as well in the ignition. That ignition switch actually smoked on me.

Gee. Do you think there is a problem there?
Headlights blink on and off too with the H4's.

There gonna call me "relay man"!

Thanks.
