Does any one know of a heavier contact solenoid I can use that looks period correct and wont burn my truck to the ground? I actually saw that happen once.

The problem is with the
quality of the auto parts sold today.
Most of the chain stores autoparts come from C-H-I-N-A, and are C-R-A-P.
Look for one made in the US of A.
NC: Give Dennis Carpenter a call, mebbe he has some GEN-U-INE FORD ORIGINALS. / EDIT: Green Sales has 10 = 800-543-4959
B6AZ-11450-A .. Starter Solenoid (Motorcraft SW-3) ~ Fits 1956/79 all cars & trucks.
1956/67 = marked FoMoCo in script on the metal bracket. In demand because these are correct for early Mustangs, HiPo Galaxies, '56/57 Birds, other collector cars / 1968 and later = marked FORD on the bracket.
