At the risk of being called on the carpet for repeating myself, why don't 
you just run the wire from the ign. switch out to a Ford solenoid and use 
that to replace the one on top of your ash tray, and for a hookup point 
for any other  wires that you need to have go to a good 12V source. These 
solenoids are hell-for-stout and it will last many lifetimes.
