Its all about the amps. The GPR is rated for mega amps. Anything else rated for less like a regular solenoied would not last long or poof right off the bat.

Solonoids are usually case grounded , meaning the gpr will be on all the time ,,,not good ...

GP109 at napa is only 25 -35.00

You need to have the correct one.. 109 is oriented differently , but will work fine ...
