Shoudl be no diff... One of the flywheel holes is off-angle, so it only goes
on one way.

Nope,not the rambler!

The 62 TSM says the fuse on the relay is 15 amps. Sure, use one of those
Bosch type relays! The OD relay is a single contact, normally-open. Just pay
attention to some of those Bosch types, they have a diode in them to
suppress radio noise and the polarity has to be right. The arrow of the
diode poitns to "+".

Shorting the coil won't ever hurt it, no worries there -- fact, it does the
same thing that the points do, ground coil "-" to ground.

The coil could get too hot if you leave the ignition on and points closed
for "a long time" (minutes). The OD relay wouldhave to refuse to drop out
for "a long time" to get the coil hot.

(Actually it happened to me in 1988 in my Classic wagon that originally had
the t96+OD. OD stuck for probably no more than 2 seconds, long enough to
fill the exhaust system with fuel+air. When it finally did drop out, and
spark restored, BLAMMO! blew the end out of the muffler!!)
