If I remember correctly only two wires are required for starter operation.
The large battery cable and the smaller "switch" wire which goes to the
outside solenoid terminal. Depending on the car there may be a ten gauge
wire on the battery post to supply power to the rest of the car. That wire
came directly from the battery on later model ('70 and up?) B bodies. It's
been a very long time and my memory is a bit (okay, a LOT) fuzzy on that
point.
