starter solenoid wires..help

Hello everybody,
I need a stupid question answered, I just installed my 383 motor..yea!! However I can’t remember what wires went to the starter solenoid. All I have around the starter is the battery wire (positive), two orange wires, both of those have big lugs which go the starter motor, I have one small lug purple wire. The starter solenoid has two small lug posts. Can somebody please tell me what wire is missing if any missing at all, I think that the purple wire was the only wire hooked up the solenoid. This is an aftermarket starter high performance starter so there are no markings / letters printed on it. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

well i can't recall which post the purple wire goes to, but that is the only one for the small lugs. the others (big ones) hook up with the battery cable. i want to say the small one goes to the "I" post, but maybe someone else can jump on here and confirm or deny...

Great..I think there is only one wire on the small lug, just the purple wire. I just saw two post on the solenoid and I assumed that I need wires on both..never ASSuME!!!
