Joey/Chris, I believe this is your cue. :-)

This subject gets covered about every two weeks in this group! If you search archives for this group in Google, you'll find an in-depth analysis or two or forty! The idea is that the starter doesn't turn over because there is too much loss in the wiring from the back to the front (switch) and back again. The relay takes very little current to activate and sends the battery power directly to the solenoid (which is a relay in itself.) The controversy is that if you did the proper maintenance on your wiri, connectors, switch, etc. that you would not need the relay. The other reason for using them is if the solenoid is dirty inside or worn enough that it requires a little 'extra' voltage than it would get with the normal loss on twenty-some feet of thirty-year-old wiring. It buys you time. Usually.

To make a long story short, Bosch makes the kit and it works very well. Installs in minutes.
