Thats right. 
S stands for start, should be purple wire on this lug. The red wire with the large eyelet on it is from the alternator to keep the battery charged.

Purple one does goe on 'S' terminal, yellow one on 'R', Red one, along with the thick black one (battery positive) on the large nut. Then their should be a thinner black wire, which goes on the connecting screw for the solenoid (ground). Thats the way my 68 starter is and its original.....
