MRS, you will hook to the battery positive side via a fused setup, and to the same place on the starter solenoid that the key switch would go too. If that is the purple wire then yes attack to that place as well. What you're trying to do is apply 12 volts to the starter solenoid when you push the switch to energize the starter solenoid to spin the starter.

gm280, Thanks! I checked solenoid S is red and yellow plus checked book and off the switch red and yellow is on S on the switch. Got some bad info. that it has to be the purple:facepalm: going out to hookup now, trying to check dwell and cannot see the meter when cranking motor so I need the remote starter so I can read meter. Thanks....
