im sorry its a 1923 Superior. some models show them going to a junction box, where as some show them T'd together, then some diagrams show a junction block. i just want to get it correct. thank you.

Keep in mind that when asking questions always include the year of the car. No doubt that one of the four-cylinder dudes on this site will be able to help you with your question regarding the headlight wiring.

I don't know how this transfers to a '23 but below is one of the junction blocks on my '38.

I have a 24, the drivers side headlight wire goes through the fender and down and across under the rad and is spliced into the pass side headlight wire. It looks like it could be original but I have no way to verify. It becomes part of the main harness near the generator.

The wires from the harness to the junction block and from the junction block to the headlight both have fork terminals. One slides under the connector in the junction block from one side the the other slides under from the other. Tighten the screw to that connector to squeeze them together. One fork terminal is on top of the other. Picture laying two dinner forks on top of each other with the handles pointed in opposite directions.
