Need help Hooking starter back up

Hey guys I have a 1978 f-150 400m that I have painted but wanted to detail the engine compartment real nice..So I took everything off to the block to paint it, now im back putting it all back together with new wires, hoses ect ect.

I have the engine back together and attempting to wire everything, does anyone have a wiring diagram of from the starter to the solinoid, and from the solinoid to the alternator, id just like to make sure things go back correctly the first time. I simple picture would be great

Here is the schematic for '78: http://www.fordification.net/tech/im...ster_3of10.png

Basically you have the bat pos cable, fuse-able link & main alt hot going to the radiator side of the starter solenoid. The starter cable to the other side.

Then you have the two sm posts. The "S" post is for the start signal form the ing switch. The "I" post is for the hot while cranking signal out to the coil.
