Starter wiring help needed on 81
Thanks to modern computers I lost all the pictures I took of the disassembly when I pulled my motor. I am now putting everything back together but the starter wiring on the car seems different from the AIM, (it's old and discolored) If someone could take a look at their starter wiring I would appreciate it immensely.
On the car; battery cable, dual black wires to single large connector, dual red wires to single large connector, single (red?) wire to small connector.
AIM shows; battery cable, dual red wires both go to the large post. Purple wire to small post.
What I know; battery cable and dual red wires to large post, single wire to small post.
Miliion dollar question; do the dual black wires to large connector also go to the large post on the starter?
There is also a blue/black set of wires coming out of this harness but they are for the aux fan switch.
Thanks!

Re: Starter wiring help needed on 81 (C3 Shark Tank)
OK, I think I found it but just to be sure I'll still see what anyone comes up with. I believe the dual black goes to the motor/trans mount bolt, that seems to be the location based on the length of the wires.
