yeah.  a little while ago, i posted about a relay, hoping to find a
high amperage relay for the mustang (i'm rewiring it).  last night,
i took a peek in the relay box and discovered that the #217 relay
is rated at 70A.  that's the radiator fan relay.

i'm not allowed to take parts from the street car to use on the race
car, so i've got an order in with force5 auto for relay plus socket.
