the purple wire with the smaller terminal IS the ignition wire. all that other stuff is basically power distribution. there are fusible links right near where all those wires hook up to the the starter along with the battery cable. you may have a problem there.

Theirs the ground wire from the battery to the alt bracket on the motor. and theirs also a ground strap, usually on the rear of the passenger side head going to the firewall. it can cause some weird problems if not hooked up.
I have seen people hook the ground wire to the post on the battery and the other end was connected to nothing, they didnt know wtf was going on lol
