A Thick red straight from the battery goes to the large starter terminal.
A thin red/black goes to the small solenoid on the start.
You MAY also have a thick earth that goes from battery to the starter mounting bolt, depends which loom your using.

And then the alternator has a small blue/white, and a thicker RED which goes the starter motor live wire(or battery pos terminal, up to you), the original loom goes to the starter 12v red wire.
