high torque starter wiring

[primegard]

I just purchased and am trying to install an new Hitachi High Torque starter into my car(SBC 383cui). The original starter had 3 wires on it, one large positive, one small purple to start, and one yellow to coil. The new starter only have 2 lugs, one for the large positive and I assume the other is for the purple "start". My question is what do I do with the yellow"coil" wire. Yes the car does have a coil I am running an MSD 6al with a Blaster II coil and pro billet dist. Help

The yellow wire should have a large ring on it that will fit onto the large positive post on the starter..
and that should do it..

Welcome to the forum by the way.. got any pics of that car?

Thanks, glad to be here. I'll post some pics soon, the car is torn apart right now,I'm getting it ready for the Chevy Vette fest here in Chicago in a couple of weeks. It's a 69 z28 clone, that I just installed a Vortech Supercharger on. I can't wait to see the numbers on it.

The Yellow wire only has a small ring on it, but I can change it to a large on, I assumed that it only needed to feed the coil on start and I was going to put it on the terminal with the "start" wire. It makes sence that it would need power all of the time. On the factory starter it had its own terminal.

Thanks for the info
