I have heard all the debates over the years as to if this fix is right or wrong the only answer I have is it works!

Example: My 40 Ford coupe I built as a frame off, every thing was new ...battery cables, wiring was a quality kit, grounds galore, battery to engine, engine to frame, frame/engine to body, dash etc.

I used a high torque mini starter with fender well headers so the heat is theoretically away from the starter, but these old Fords are known for the hot engine compartments from lack of air flow. I had heat soak issues develop within a week of getting this car on the road.

I used the Ford solenoid trick and it has started every time even on 100 degree days and running the A/C

Just my experience
