wiring problem

i just got finished wiring up my 1971 360 truck. im not sure that i have the wires run right to the starter solenoid because im not getting any power. when i'm standing in front of the truck, on the stud toward the front i have the positive battery cable, and a big black wire that runs somewere down toward that alt. on the side toward the starter i have the wire going to the starter and a big black wire with yellow stripe and a yellow wire which come together from the factory. they are coming out of the truck firewall. should i switch sides with the big black wire with yellow stripe and the yellow wire???

The onl;y wire on the rear large terminal should be the wire that runs to the starter.
There should be one wire on the small "I" terminal and one on the small "S" terminal. The rest go on the large terminal that has the wire from the battery positive on it.
