Default '73 starter wiring question.

I am in the process of putting in a quick disconnect wiring harness for my starter and did not notice that two of the wires are the same orange color with no way to tell them apart before cutting them. I have a summit starter and it only has two terminals, one I have the main pos lead and one of the orange wires hooked and the other is a much smaller term with the other orange wire hooked to it. One of the orange wires has a fusible link so my question is which terminal would get the fusible link wire?

BTW There is a third wire hooked to the main term but it is not OEM and I believe it is going to the MSD box.

Thanks

That was I figured but wanted to confirm it with the forum first.
