Wiring up a late model starter

Hey guys, I've got a '66 F100 with a small block and a 4 speed and I'm wanting to install a newer smaller mini style starter and was wondering how I should go about wiring this up. I cant find the instructions that came with it. Right now I've got the old standard wiring with the fender well mounted solenoid. Thanks for the help.

I assume the min starter has it's own solenoid ?

When I have done this swap I usually just retain the factory fender solenoid and put a jumper on the starter so when there is power to the starter it is engaged and spinning. No messing with running wires either.
