I do know about the “R” terminal on the starter switch.
If the”R terminal you are referring to the side terminal with about a 3/8” nut on the switch mounted on the starter, the answer is no. That side terminal supply's a full 12 volts to the coil when you start the engine. When you release the floor start button you want it to switch to the ceramic resister or a resistance wire which cuts the voltage and saves the points from burning up too quickly. I have never seen the kit nor am I an electrical guru but I did just make those changes to my 52’ 3100 with a 235’. One of the PO’s didn’t have the resister wired in so I had to figure out how (with the help of this forum) it was supposed to work.
