Not sure what the PO had there, but there is not supposed to be any battery wire to either of the small posts of the starter. The large top post of the starter solenoid is normally used as a distribution point for the whole electrical system. The 10 or 12 gauge red wires from the alternator and to the fuse box and ignition switch hook up to the main battery cable there.
