Were it not for that fusible link opening, you might have had a big electrical fire and lost the entire car! Absolutely replace the fusible link with another link. DO NOT replace it with plain wire.

On an 1980
Larger black battery cable and 2 red fuselink wires to the big battery lug on the solenoid.
Purple wire to the "s" terminal
Nothing to the "r" terminal, in fact the correct solenoid doesn't even have the "r" terminal.
A black wire should be the ground wire. To be sure check it for continuity to ground. I like to tape it back up the harness a bit and use a short bolt to mount it to the back of the head, out of sight and out of mind.
