Default Starter Install - I'm an idiot

Pulled the starter out of my 89 and had it rebuilt.
It was so long ago, I forgot what wires go where!
Small red wire goes on the small post.

Does the large red and large black go on the large post?

Thanks in advance.

:yesnod: The one with the large metal clip on the side of the terminal goes on last before the nut over the other wire.

Don't feel bad....

When I changed out my starter, I slipped with the ratchet and broke the knock-sensor.

But some sort of repair manual like Haynes, Chilton or (heaven forbid) the dreaded expensive Helm. They're about $100 now but when they were made they were $18. They only make them for two years and then they sell them to the rip-off artists that bend us over if we didn't happen to purchase them at the right time.
