Hi all,

I am looking for help from the electrical wizards on the list before I finish 
hooking up the Painless 12 circuit fuse box on my 1951 GMC.

1.    One of the steps (in the rather brief instruction sheet) asks me to 
attach a wire from the "COIL/DIST" terminal on the fuse box to the ignition 
coil.  I am using a Chev 305 with the HEI distributor.  There are three wires 
coming out of the distributor.  Am I correct in assuming that I hook up to the 
pink wire?  If this is correct, what are the brown and black wires for??
  
2.    The starter solenoid  has three terminals.  The large middle terminal 
goes to the positive battery post and I know that the "S" terminal goes to the 
ignition switch but what is the "R" terminal for??

The rest of the wiring is going well and with some luck I think that I will be 
able to fire up the beast tomorrow!!

Thanks in advance for your help.
