Default Help wiring up my new Starter? Made a beginner's mistake

So my old starter is bad (Auto '75 w/ sbc) and I took it off to replace it with a new one. I'm totally new to working with anything electrical and made the total beginner mistake of not checking what was wired where before I took off the old starter.

I have a thick black wire that I know goes to the big stud on the starter (12v constant I think?)

But I also have these two. I can't seem to find a reliable source on which stud to attach them to. One is a single wire (Orange with some sort of connector). The other is two orange wires on a single link and they both look to have fusible links in them.

There is a picture of the wires, all orange in color. Any help is much appreciated

The one with the larger eyelet (two orange wires) goes to the large battery terminal and the one with the small eyelet goes to the small stud marked with an S.

I Always tell students to take a pic before taking something off. They have a hundred selfies on the phone, but nothing useful.
