Anybody using a starter relay other than the old factory style one?

Yes , Echlin ST-83 from NAPA . This is a Jeep relay that looks like a Ford,except that it has an extra terminal for the neutral safety switch. I put a strap across the starter terminals, then just ran one wire from the ST-83 to the starter. This way the starter wire is only hot when cranking, and you only have one wire going to the starter. I used a rubberized clamp on one of the bell housing bolts to neatly hold the starter wire. Works great.

I'm using a ford newer style and use the factory unit as a voltage distribution point to things like my msd.
