Anyone have an idea as to what goes where? Any diagrams?

I know the huge black one goes to the center post. :L
 
Your car originally had four wires to the solenoid; the battery cable and a 12-ga. red wire (which has a molded splice to a brown wire further up the harness) on the big stud at the top, a 12-ga. purple wire to the small "S" terminal (energizes the starter), and a 20-ga. yellow wire to the small "R" terminal (feeds a full 12 volts to the coil + terminal only during cranking). There will also be a 14-ga. black wire with a large ring terminal on it in the vicinity - that's the ground wire for the heater blower and wiper motor, and it goes under the outboard starter motor attaching bolt.
