Use a standard Ford starting relay, about $5-6 at the local chain parts places. It's built to take the current. The classic place is on the right-side tranny cover, using the upper bolts. I used 1/4" quick connect terminals on mine so I could change back in a hurry, for testing, if need be. I think the later Idiot's Guides have a drawing of how it's installed. Gene Berg has a kit and instructions, if you need them.
