It doesn't really matter, bandit.<br />One of the posts is a ground and the other is for the red wire from the "start" switch.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

watch out 4 the smoke ???. Has the solenoid been changed?. The i post could come live in cranking position and if connected to ground (via short lead) IT WILL SMOKE UP Red wire should go to S post

Hooty is right. One post goes to ground and it don't matter which. The solenoid mounts to the side of the engine with a rubber collar and half round retainer. I usually just run the bottom small post to ground.
