I believe there are only two wires that go to the starter motor.

NOTE: I'm assuming that the battery was disconnected at the battery to avoid shorts.

1. The heavy 6 gauge red wire from the battery that connects to the large 5/16 bronze stud on the end of the solenoid

2. The smaller 18 gauge (don't know the color coding) that goes to the small terminal on the solenoid.

When the starter is dropped, pay attention to whether there is a shim between it and the engine block. The shim is necessary for proper alignment with the flywheel.
