If you want to retain the original firewall solenoid and its wiring, just put an 18 ga jumper wire between the large and small terminals on the starter.
Thats just what I did. Since my battery is in the trunk I did not want the battery cable to my starter hot all the time. So I mounted a Ford type solenoid in the trunk and just wired the old wire from the starter relay that went to the solenoid to the solenoid in the trunk. Now the wire to the starter is only hot while cranking. I also wired an 8 gauge wire from the battery to the starter relay where the car picks up its hot feed and this wire has a fuseable link on it right at the battery to protect the cars wire harness. It works great since the starter only engauges when the starter battery cable is hot and the small wire from the starter stud pulls the starter solenoid in also with the jumper only when the starter cable is hot. So simple and works so easy. Ron
