I bought the $300, 50lb kit from AutoLoc for my '93.
What a piece of crap that kit was.
The passenger side relay burned up after 10 uses.
The driver's side solenoid fried after 3 months, while the passenger side solenoid made it for 5 months.
I bought 2 replacement 45lb solenoids from Summit and was amazed to see that the armatures on the Summit "45lb" solenoids were 1/2 again the size of the "50lb" AutoLoc's; I even had to enlarge the autoloc mounting brackets to fit the Summit solenoids.
The Summits are stronger and 1/3 the price.
If I had to do it over again, I'd get the 45lb VPA kit from Summit.
That's what I'm going to use on my '68.
