Here's how that works Steve. That "new fangled" starter relay has a separate contact that provides power to other circuits during cranking. Other than that one contact, the relay is the same functionally
From the top down:
The top left is the new added terminal. Electrically this one is the ONLY difference between old / new When the relay is engaged, this one feeds power out during starting to other circuits
The "twin" one top right.........This one hooks to BATT and is the same as your old "big stud"
The lower "twin" terminal..........This one feeds the starter solenoid power, and electrically is the same as your old one "square screw" terminal
The bottom two are the same as the old one............the coil terminals. One is getting cranking signal voltage from the ignition switch, the remaining one goes to the neutral safety switch (auto) or the clutch safety switch
