My '73 340's solenoid plugged onto one of the alternator terminals , then the plug for the alt. plugged into the backside of that terminal (blue one I'm confident)...piggyback.

Piggyback terminals are a common piece, but the molded insulator used was special, I've never seen one anywhere else.    Maybe a common part used on 70's Mopars.
