starter wiring question

Ok this is just a dumb question, but when I took my starter off a few months ago to replace the transmission I don't rember how the wires were hooked up. I feel stupid asking this but want to get it right. 1988 f-150 300 with new c-6 trans. Power wire and another two wires that hook together at the end, one post on the starter. Do both go to this post? Thanks for any help.

starter wiring question

How about saying what colour the wires are?

Small wires:
I know one should be Brown for the ignition
and possibly Blue/red or red blue to engage the starter relay.

The tiny LB/R goes to the tiny post. The wire to the starter goes to one of the big posts (either one, but usually the rear for convenience). Everything else goes to the other big post.
