Is this disconnect original Ford?

Well, we can assume if there was any relationship it may have been complicated.

...And looking at your pix again (even though you didn't ask) - is that a large diameter wire that is tucked underneath the steering box clamp (maybe running from the disconnect to the starter motor stud)? I'm not sure it's a good idea to allow that, perhaps look at routing the wire differently or zip-tie it so it's not rubbing.

I had forgotten this thread and rediscovered it while searching for something else. The answer, JayJay, to your question is that yes indeed that is a big black wire. It runs from the disconnect to the post on the solenoid. I had never done anything with it 'til now. I'm going to do something to get it away from the steering or tie it securely to the steering.

Thanks for noticing.

And yes, I know that this thread is 9 months old but perhaps JayJay will see it and accept my thanks.

Arch - saw your note, and you are very welcome. I pick up things here almost every time I look.
