There are 3 wires and coming to starter and 3 terminals at starter.
Which wire goes where?
Are black and orange going together on the lowest terminal?
Anybody?

The 2 bolts are different sizes. The ring terminals are sized differently also, so hook up is relatively fool proof

Yes there are 3 terminal lugs at the starter solenoid.
2 large lugs and 1 small lug.

1 large lug has a short cable from the lug to the starter motor windings.
2 nd large lug has two wires going to it. A large black from the + Terminal of the Battery and a Rust colored fusible link wire that goes to Blower Control Module for C68 or to the Blower Relay for C60.

3 rd (small) lug should have the purple wire which comes from the ignition switch.
