Your existing Start switch will connect to the S terminal on the new solenoid just like it does now on the old one.
On a 12v starter solenoid the I terminal powers the Ign coil during starting for a hotter spark. The engine will start easier with full power to the coil. The ballast resistor powers the ign coil at approx 9v when the engine is 'running' so the coil is much less likely to get too hot, along with the points.

Gauges working fine now. Thanks..I ordered a 12 volt generator, voltage regulator, and starter solenoid..Still not sure why I need to run a wire to the I terminal of the solenoid?
