That connection might be at the coil or at the starter terminal, it should be two wires at either terminal if I remember correctly. What that does is: when the starter engages it will supply 12v to the coil for a hotter spark while cranking. The 12v power to the coil comes from the starter during cranking only. With the key in the run position you no longer get the 12v power connection from the starter however, the wire will be energized within the circuit as it should be energized by the resistance wire to the coil.

Hope this helps a bit.
