I am not sure what the black wire is nor do I know what the solenoid field
bolt is. The connections on the solenoid are as follows:
A long 8mm bolt (~5/16") that the battery cable hooks to.
A short 8mm bolt that the small braided cable to the starter motor hooks to.
A connection to energize the solenoid, can be either a threaded screw for
a ring terminal (early models) or a ΒΌ" flat blade for a push-on (faston)
terminal for later models (probably most of the 140/164)
Maybe a smaller terminal whose function is to short out the ballast resistor
when cranking. This terminal, if present, will be about 3/16" wide. You will
see it on later model starters but not older ones. Its purpose is to keep
the reduced system voltage while cranking from making the ignition voltage
lower. I believe the wire that goes to it may be blue or green, but possibly
black.
What needs to be unsoldered is the solder connection in two small brass grommets
one of which has two copper wires welded together in it and the other has one.
The hole is about 3/32" in diameter and as you melt the solder you can pull the
wire(s) out. With the solder in the grommets you may not be able to see the
wires. You will need at least a 30 watt soldering iron and 50 watts will do it
quicker with less overheating of the plastic. When resoldering you can either
melt the solder and rap the cap to jar the old solder out or you can run a
small drill through it to take it out. DON'T use a big enough drill to cut the grommet! Use electronic solder to resolder. It will be easy.
There probably will be washers on the two bolt connectors that are actually
screwed onto the bolt threads. These must be unscrewed and getting hold of
them to do this may be difficult.
