Automotive relays come in many different current capacities. A 35  amp 
relay will handle any of the relay applications on a Pantera. Pic-A-Part  
Salvage yards have all the relays you will ever need for next to nothing   ...... 
new relays from Painless wiring or Waytek  are quite inexpensive. Or just 
Google automotive relays. Relays, in my  54 years of tinkering experience, are 
very reliable components.
 
Have fun,
