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

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...
