I have one wire that I cannot figure out.  It is a 4 speed car and I am about to try and start the car.  I also just realized I have the two small press on wires reversed

That red wire is a lead for the ammeter, and was joined/spliced with the thick wire (now cut and spliced)  with a fusible link on the other side of the splice.  That thick wire eventually goes to the starter solenoid in your picture.

Thanks!
Awesome.  I will just redo that fusible link.  I still have to sharpie it black.  I could not find a new black fusible link

NAPA carries unmarked black fusible 14 gauge links.  I don't remember if the ring connector looks correct or not.
