One of you guys recommended I read a site and I found this. Using a ford solenoid relay..

Could I use this?

I agree with the others- you will be way ahead with the kit. On the solenoid just make sure the one you buy has a continuous duty rating and rated for the proper load (amps) Solenoids for starters are not always rated for continuous duty. And, yes the relays and solenoid help if you have a lot of high amperage items ( electric fans, water pumps, extra lights.) Not sure you need it with a basic system. It does add a little extra to the wiring diagram . I am a fan of the book "how to wire your hot rod" from speedway motors -about 9 bucks but there may not be much more info than the jegs site had in it.
