This kit from Summit Racing (#SUM-G1750) includes all items necessary to install. User might wish to get two new battery cables instead of cutting their existing battery cable. One cable will be needed from the battery (with correct post connection) to one side of the solenoid and a second cable from the solenoid to the GM solenoid on the starter. Note this kit and one from M.A.D. Electrical comes with a metal connector for the GM solenoid to connect the battery post to the inside "S" connection instead of using a jumper wire.

A Ford-style solenoid on a 1967 Chevelle.

 

A Ford-style solenoid can be used to not only hopefully eliminate or reduce the heat issue with the GM starter solenoid but can be valuable in assisting with things like a bump-start switch that is handy for getting top dead center on your balancer and even adjusting valves. The unit shown here is actually a Summit unit and the kit includes all the necessary wire ends. Naturally you will need ot change the single positive cable to two cables for the solenoid.
