Hey Larry -
Have you considered buying a 1959 shop manual, which is
actually a supplement to the 58 shop manual ? That should be your next
purchase before you buy anything else.
If you look at the ignition schematic inside the manual
you'll see that there is no starter relay, just a starter solenoid between the
switch and the starter itself.
It may be a good idea to remove the ignition switch from the
dash and trace the wires (the three that you're concerned about are: a red/white
12 ga wire from the AMM post to the starter solenoid, an 18 ga brown that also
goes to the starter solenoid, and an 18 ga dark blue from the IGN post that
goes to the coil resistor.

Before I tackle the latest issue with my 59 Coronet
(326/Powerflite), I need input from the group.
Last time I tried to start the engine, I got a puff of
smoke when the key was turned. I assume that it is a wire that has worn
through and is touching something between the ignition switch and the
starter relay. Is that one wire? Any idea what gauge wire that would be? I
am anxious to get the old girl back on the road to restoration.
Thanks,
Larry
