no i got it from a buddy, he had one kicking around from a previous project that never happened so i snagged it lol
i am assuming one is ground and one is +12v switched just not sure if it matters which is which

I would use an ohm meter on each of those small leads to the case and if neither one of them reads 0 ohms to the case then I would say you are correct and can make either one whatever you want.

WAIT!
2 things -
Don't just wire one of those posts to ground and the other into the TIPM. Additional protection circuitry is needed otherwise you will send thousands of volts into the TIPM and fry it and the possibly the PCM!
Also, If that is a starter solenoid intended for intermittent duty, expect it to die quickly! The solenoids we use are designed for constant duty and are much heavier duty and more expensive.
