LT1 Starter solenoid

Can someone post the correct wiring for the starter/starter solenoid? A friend of mine wired his backwards on his jeep and blew the starter motor....I can't afford a new starter motor just yet lol
Thanks

The large bolt is where the positive battery lead goes to(large wire). This is also where I added a wire to for the PCM constant 12v. The smaller one is for the purple cranking wire. You can't really screw the wires up on this thing.

what about all the fusible links? I thought the starter solenoid served as a power distribution point. Do they just go where the battery goes?

I eliminated the fusible links. The power for the PCM I took off the starter solenoid constant 12v wire. For the rest of the car...I ran a wire from the battery to the c100 connector wires that needed a constant 12v.

interesting.....I will probably keep them for now because I am in a hurry, but I'll just run 'em to the battery...
