Answered  my own question. Used a meter and found terminals to be common.
Car starts  and runs.

Sorry about the silly goose chase.  That 3rd wire threw  me.




Congratulations on fixing it. The "3rd wire" would go to a terminal spade  
on the starter battery + terminal. That terminal might not be there any more 
IF  the starter or the cable (or both) have been replaced. If this is your 
case,  just loop the wire up and away from everything and disregard it. 
Early 71's and  those cars built prior didn't get the diagnostic port (it was a 
mid 71  addition). You won't miss it. ;-)
