Another make car has an extra contact in the starter solenoid that bypasses the resistor. I recently bought an aftermarket starter for that make engine and the new starter came without the resistor bypass contact. The instruction sheet advises that a wire can be connected to the lead going into the starter motor and feed to the ignition switch side of the coil with a 10 amp diode in series to keep the ignition voltage from feeding back to the starter. Make sense?
