Default Correct Starter wiring?

Ok, Can some one tell me the correct connections on a starter for a 70'?

I have the starter in so I can't read the markings and I can't get it back out cause the headers are in the way...

Battery wire to big terminal (duh).
Start ignition wire to the small terminal closest to the oil pan.
Bypass wire to the coil is the small terminal farthest to the passenger side.
That's it.

Ok, well I had the starter wired incorrectly then.

I'll change it and see if that resolve the issues.


Now I get to crawl back under the car and mangle my hands for another hour or so.....

Thanks Gary!!!
