I have just recently changed out a old starter and fixing to be putting in a new one, but I need directions on what wires go where.

Okay,

There should be a small wire that goes on the starter solenoid terminal marked S.

The other two big cables go on the big post on the solenoid. One wire is from the battery and the other goes to the alternator.

Do you have it out already?

I just got a new starter for the car and fixing to be putting it in, and I need some help from some one who is a expert on where the wires go on the starter. Could some one tell me where the wires go on this starter here? And maybe send me a diagram of this type of starter for the wires. Thanks!

If the old one is still on, just put the cables back the same way. The big nut is the battery cable. The small nut is the start signal. If there are shims on starter then re use the shims when installing the starter back.

The old one is off and sent to AutoZone for recycling. At that moment I went ahead and bought a new one.
