Quest to getting my Slant six to turn over

All Chrysler starters have an integral solenoid, since ~1960 and same PN for slant, small-block, big-block until the Magnum engines (1980's thru ~2002). Magnum V-8 use a smaller, lighter starter that fits early engines and works better, so get one if you change. That big contactor on the inner fender is not original, so a kludge. Perhaps it replaces the factory "starter relay" on the firewall. A standard Bosch 30A relay would work fine for that and what later Mopars use. Either way, the NSS should wire to coil- of the relay, shorting it to ground to enable the relay.
So wire it to the empty post? Sorry, i'm a caveman when it comes to electrical.

that is a ford style solenoid....so who knows what is going on with the wiring.

I would recommend keeping a fire extinguisher handy when fiddling with that
Yeah this looks like some shoddy work like most of the "modifications" done to the car. Last thing i need is these gas fumes to ignite.
