Yes correct, I learned this as a young private while studding the wiring diagram.The s and t termanals go straight to the starter solenoid, they bypass the starter relay in the pcb, and the neutral start switch on the transmission. Now this was back in the late 80's when I worked on the early...

For a little 6.2 and one freeze plug heater, 1 hour should be enough to start it easily. Up here a lot of folks leave them plugged in over night, or put them on a timer. 2 heaters work better and the tank heaters are junk and just suck up electricity.

Be advised 911 is for emergency use only, use white can power service for maintenance, and you double up on dosage to lower your cloud point even more. After that you are just throwing money into the tank there will be no gain after a double dose per power service engineers.

If you have the 3126 as long as the huei pump has oil its going to start right up, because the huei has more cranking injector pressure than the 3116. The 3116 will be cold blooded with out a cold starting aid.
