I have a 1969 220, 4cyl Gas - I received the car with NO starter, found a used starter and ready to install. I know where the main positive cables go, but what I don't know is on which of the small posts the small gauge wires go to.

Attached is a photo of my New/Used starter - the lower (marked "B") has an old white wire (from donor car) the post above (marked "A") currently has no screw to attach to.

My "Stray" wires:
On my car I have a PURPLE that is joined with a WHITE (white goes to a relay on firewall)

Then I have a RED wire with PURPLE STRIPE - I can't find this RED wire with purple stripe on my wiring diagram.

I am hoping you can give me some insight so I can get this on the road again.
