Hi,

I am about to add a low voltage relay kit to my starter and have a
question.

First, the kit I am going to install is the one documented in a file
from the vanagon.com archives. Here is a link to that article:

This kit calls for using a "generic Ford truck solenoid".  The solenoid
is placed ahead of the starter solenoid and is presumably able to
operate in low voltage conditions. 

Before I put the new solenoid in I want to make sure the Ford solenoid
will operate in low voltage conditions. Does anyone know the specs on
this solenoid?
