Not sure where you ever got that idea .
The entire point of the second terminal on the starter solenoid was to by pass the calibrated ignition wire from the key switch when cranking so the spark was stronger .
I add HEI systems to everything and my simple method is one of those tiny cube relays that's rated for 50 amperes, kicked by the low power feed (7 ~ 9 VDC) from the key switch .
Easy and doesn't hack up the factory harness and isn't glaringly obvious .

The OEM coil will draw 50 amps? I like the idea of running it this way. I need to add a fusible link and I plan on connecting it to the accessory lug on the factory busbar. Do you run a fuse? How big of a fuse is needed?
