I'm not sure how to hook up my new mini starter?

My stock starter has a large stud with a nut on the end. All my wires for my starter go to this except a little purple one. Then there is a skinny stud with a nut on the end the purple wire goes to.

My new starter has two large studs/nuts. And another yellow slip fit connection. Does anyone know how I should hook it up? Here's a picture of the new starter:



Thanks guys.

All the wires go on the top stud of solenoid and the purple gos to the small terminal with the yellow connector

You only have to look at it
As shown in your pic , the bottom stud on the solenoid has a brass link that puts power from the solenoid
to the starter motor
