I have 3 wires of different sizes and I don't know exactly where they go on the solenoid.

The big one should be from the battery. The one with the big terminal would go on the big post on the starter solenoid. One of those wires is the hot lead to the coil. It will plug into the HEI distributor cap.Check with a continuity tester. It should go on the right terminal facing the solenoid.
