Wires to starter?

I did the HEI swap and used the instructions from the forum. One thing I couldn't find for sure was the wires to the starter. I have the big power wire from the battery and a purple wire going to the "s" terminal on the starter. Are these the only wires I should have?

Been a long time but that sound right. The other wire that went down there was like a bypass in the start position from the old points wire to get 12 volts to the starter solenoid.

That's pretty close but actually it's the wrong direction. The yellow wire that went to the "R" terminal on the starter, is a bypass for the coil resistance wire from the key switch, to give the coil a full 12 volts when starting.

Re: Wires to starter?

Thanks guys. Now if I can just get it spinning fast enough to fire. I am going to pick up the new 350 this week and wanted to get the old 307 running before I took it out. That way I can make sure my wiring is right and if I decided to sell the 307, I could let the buyer Know it will run.
