There are two large diameter posts on the rear of the starter solenoid,
one goes to the batter cable and the other connects to a wire that goes
directly through the starter case. I thing that is the wire that you are
calling the "M" terminal. The solenoid has two functions, one is as an
electromagnet that slides the bendix (starter drive) into the flywheel,
the other is as a switch to turn power to the starter on when you hit the
key.

Does that make sense?

Let me know if I can help any more.

Peace,
Pat

> Still plugging away on the 69, 2000. Have a question about the wiring on the
starter. On the back of the start there're three letters to indicate ,
S = solenoid, B= Battery, and M= Motor ? Is that correct and if the battery
goes to the "B" what goes to the M?
