I'm most familiar with Bosch relays and numbering
the German way, but you can use even GM relays.
Some guys have used 3 prong relays, but I always
used 4 prong. The different male spades coming out
of the relay have two in parallel side by side with
two facing the other way straddling the first pair.
The two side by side are numbered 85 and 86 and are
the trigger set, the other two are 30 which is B+
and 87 which goes to the starter solenoid. The wire
that normally goes to the starter solenoid from the
ignition switch goes to 85 or 86. The one of 85 or
86
that you didn't use, attach it to a ground wire that
you make up and mount to any ground that's easy to
get to and close to the relay. You make up another
wire that you attach to 30 and the other side to
the battery pos post(that's best) or another easy
place to get a full 12 volts. Relays use little
current in the switching coil and when the points
are closed can deliver alot more current between
30 and 87. Make up another wire that goes from 87
to the starter solenoid and then mount the relay
along the inner fender apron or wherever is convenient.
Now, when you turn the ignition to start,
it sends current to the relay coil, the other side
which is grounded;and the magnetism that's created
by the current flowing through the coil pulls the
points into closed position thereby allowing current
to flow from B+ to 30 which is connected by the
points to 87 which is attached to the starter
solenoid. Now you have a full 12 volts to the
starter
solenoid even if your ignition switch doesn't have
a full 12 volt signal as it only needs a small
amount
to activate the relay.
It's not a difficult job and your local parts store
should have a relay that would work; and now that
you
know what's going on inside the relay, I think
you'll
know how to use any brand of relay.
Good luck.
