    Need a solenoid. The starter draws a lot of current. And if you want to be able to do remote kill, you’ll need a switch with two M (magneto) terminals.

    I built my own harness for my 1959, but definitely a labor of obsessive-compulsiveness:

    I would have considered a modern connector, but could never find one rated for the amps.
    In later years they moved the start solenoid under the hood, and the connectors got one more pin (to energize the start solenoid).
