Basic gm starter cable connections are as follows:

1). Larger (6 gauge) cable goes to large post on solenoid = other end to
Positive Side of Battery

2). (S) terminal on solenoid goes to ignition switch (Switch off = no battery
power) or perhaps A/T switch

3). (I) terminal (if there is one) goes to Positive side of distributor.
