Disconnect the battery first!
The PURPLE wire goes to the only spade terminal on your new starter.
The YELLOW gets taped off and is not used.
The small BLACK with a big terminal is a ground and it gets connected to a bell housing bolt.
The rest of the wires connect to the top terminal on the solenoid.

Can't tell year of car, do you have an HEI in it?? if so, the only tricky problem may be that black ~10 ga wire that grounds the heater and wiper motor, and the high speed relay for the blower.....make sure that stays on ground, not the battery post it so conveniently fits.....
other than that, it's battery to + post, and the key switch/starter wire goes to the solenoid/small terminal.....
IF you still have breaker points in there, there is another trick to do....
