Default 75 starter question - new vs. old

just purchased the delco replacement from zip, 99 bucks. I see by the forum other option now, but it is here. my original starter only hhad the large main connection and one smaller one on the back of the soleniod, this new one has the large nut and 2 smaller ones. any ideas why? Everything else seams a perfect match.

Your OK the extra R terminal is for the old points distributors.You need to use the S terminal for your purple wire going to the solenoid.Most new solenoids have both.
