Standard Ignition SS-571 Starter Solenoid

Starter Solenoid for 1954-1955 Ford

Standard Ignition SS-571 is a 6-volt starter solenoid built for direct replacement service on select classic Ford applications. It is compatible with 1954-1955 Ford F-100 and 1955 Ford Thunderbird, making it a focused choice for vintage starting system repair.

Key Features

• 6-volt starter solenoid for classic Ford starting systems
• Heavy-duty copper contacts help reduce arcing and support longer service life
• More pure copper windings than found on many vehicles for a stronger magnetic field
• Polyester-insulated magnet wire, cadmium-plated copper discs, and solid contact bolts help reduce voltage drop
• Pure copper battery terminal studs help lower resistance and support higher current flow in hot conditions
• 3 male stud terminals, black and chrome finish, aluminum and plastic construction

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SS-571 starter solenoid is engineered for dependable electrical transfer between the battery and starter motor. Its copper contact design and high-purity windings are built to maintain strong current flow, reduce voltage loss, and improve resistance to electrical overload in demanding starting circuits. This makes it a practical replacement for restoring proper cranking performance on a 1954-1955 Ford F-100 or a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This part number, SS-571, is also a useful reference when sourcing a direct-fit 6-volt starter solenoid for these vintage Ford vehicles.

This part cross-references Autobest F1495 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-crank or intermittent crank conditions
• Starter engagement problems caused by worn solenoid contacts
• Voltage drop between the battery and starter
• Weak current flow in older 6-volt starting systems
• Electrical wear from arcing at the solenoid contacts

Installation Notes

Verify 6-volt system requirements, terminal style, and mounting layout before installation. The SS-571 uses 3 male stud terminals and no connector, so wiring should match the original vehicle configuration. Confirm fitment for your specific 1954-1955 Ford F-100 or 1955 Ford Thunderbird application before final assembly. Part number SS-571 should be matched to the vehicle’s original starter circuit layout for proper operation.
