All the answers below have merit! Here is the answer. Go to your favorite Auto Parts store and purchase a Starter relay for a 62 Ford Galaxy. It will have four terminals on it. 2 big copper studs, and two smaller threaded terminals between them on the edge. Mount this where the original is located on the starter. The big studs are usually not labeled. The small terminals will have an S near one, and and an I near the other. Connect the battery cable, and the fatter small wire to the big stud closest to the S small terminal. (this is where they were removed from on the old relay) Connect the Starter motor conductor to the other big stud (it is often a copper metal strip making the connection, If you need a different one to make it fit it can be made from a flattened piece of 3/8 copper tube with appropriate holes) Connect the starter button wire (Small existing wire from the dash) to the S terminal.
A new wire and terminal ends needs to be installed from the I (small terminal) to the coil side of the existing ignition resistor. This gives max battery voltage to the coil for starting only. When the relay is on, cranking the engine, the I terminal will be connected to battery volts. When the starter is off, that terminal is disconnected and the coil gets regular resistor volts for operation. The reason for the second terminal is that it is necessary to make it separate from the starter big terminal to keep the ignition from trying to run the starter motor, which would melt wires. Good luck, Jim

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
