Default Starter/Fuse Issues

Okay I thought I had bad starter so I took it out and had it tested it was okay. I did not get back to putting in back in the car for about 2 months. I now cannot figure out the wiring. I know were the small wire goes then there is a large gauge black wire with a large connector and then another wire with a large connector. Were do they go? I think in this frustrating process I managed to blow a fuse. I now have no power in the car. Does anyone have a fuse diagram? Please help

The large gauge black wire, the battery cable? That and the smaller wire with the large connector goes to the large stud on the solenoid. The other small gauge wire goes to the stud closest to the motor. Nothing goes on the other small stud.
If you have a small gauge black wire with a large connector, that's a ground and SHOULD be mounted to a bellhousing bolt behind the starter.
If these wires aren't hooked up, you won't have any power to anything.
Make sure you have the cable disconnected at the battery before doing anything!
