Default Starter Wiring

I'm in the middle of replacing all the wiring harnesses in my 75 coupe. Well I pulled the wires off the starter and my wife called for dinner... now I'm not positive where some of the wires go back on the starter. I was hoping that someone has a pic out there. I have the two small wires (purple and black) figured out but the red and orange I'm not sure.

Thanks

This should be correct on your year, but let someone else confirm it.

Black to ground
Purple to the small terminal (S) I think
Red and orange to the large terminal where the battery cable is connected

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking they all connected to the larger diameter battery cable but I didn't want to guess... can anyone verify that or have a pic?

The one time I didn't mark it or take a picture... darn

Thanks

The black wire goes to one of the bell housing bolts.
