Need wiring help for a mini-starter

I'm trying to put a PowerMaster Mini Starter on my truck, only problem is it has the solenoid built into it and i have to try and figure out how to hook it up, as in it has BAT and SW connections, Has anyone put one of these on their trucks?
Thanks for the help

Edit:
Since a moderator moved it, the truck i'm doing this on is a 1978 F-150 4x4 with a 1971 400.

If you want to do the least amount of wiring, hook the small switch terminal of the new starter to the large terminal of the new starter(make a small jumper). Then hook your original large cable from the ford starter relay(solenoid) mounted on the fender to the large connection on the new starter(same one that the jumper hooks too).

To make sure it works(if you still have the starter out) install the jumper and then lay the starter on the ground. Put a jumper cable from the metal body of the new starter to the negative of the battery. Take the other jumper cable and go from the + of the battery and touch the other end to the large terminal were the large ford wire is going to go. The gear should pop out of the end and the starter should spin.
