Re: Starter solenoid wiring
Back in the day...
Points controlled distributors had a resistor wire going to the coil for power. This gave the points around 9 volts while the engine was running. It reduced wear on the points electrical contacts. The 2nd small wire on starter solenoids would go to the coil at the power connection where the resistor wire connects to. This would give 12 volts to the coil during cranking. This helps for a hotter spark while cranking.
Should have had no problem having the two small solenoid terminals connected but agree with others, no reason to connect in that way. Definitely would not look correct.
