Yep, the second small terminal is for a 12 volts by-pass to the points (if you have them) during start up, …….with 12 volts and points you should have a ballast resistor to 6 volts to prevent point arcing/burning while running. See Julies wiring diagrams.

This may be a dumb question, but why would you order a part like that from LMC, pay for shipping, wait a week for it to show up, when you could just stop by your local, known-quality parts store and take one home today?
