The fat red wire from the battery should end on the stud of the starter 
solenoid.
One of the wires, (the heavy one) should have a plastic cover with a tab. 
This will "click" on to the flat tab of the starter. this one is "higher" or 
towards the top of the solenoid than the other.
The other wire goes, well theres only one more tab...

Place the car in neutral, brake on and the key in start. Using a heavy screw 
driver short the batter terminal and the "top" most tab. The starter should 
crank the engine and start the car.
REMEMBER. DO THIS WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL!!!!!
