After looking at a wiring schematic for a Nova this is what it looks like to me.
Ign plug ---------- ----------------"B" Terminal on starter solenoid
|---------|
Ign plug----------- ---------------- Alternator Battery Terminal
So the two wires appear to be hooked together and then break out into the
harness to the alternator and the B terminal
