High Torque Mini Starter Question

Hey guys, so I just installed my new high torque mini starter, had to drop the x pipe to get at the original starter. So once I got it in, I swapped the original starter wire to the other side on the fenderwall solenoid, and ran another wire that was necessary for the new mini starter. I hope this is the right starter because before putting the mid pipe back up, I pulled the distributor cap off and the main wire that goes from the coil to the top center of the distributor cap just to check and see if the mini starter worked, I heard a noise, so it seems like it is being powered okay, just didn't feel like the little gear inside there met up right to the flywheel. If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong that would be great cause I'm off to work, this is the Mini Starter I got:

This starter will fit older 4 in., 4-1/2 in. starters providing a 50% weight reduction and requiring less cranking amps than the older larger starters.
Because the starter is a smaller size, it provides better header clearance and reduces the effects of 'hot start' by staying cooler.




Thanks!!!

Well I haven't heard any grinding, I heard almost a buzzing, like it sounds like it is getting power, maybe not engaging some how. Just to verify that I have this right, like in the diagram, the old wire that used to be on the opposite side of the fender wall solenoid gets switched to the constant side of the fender wall solenoid, now that goes to the large post on the starter, that does not have the larger wires the are visibly running into the starter itself, which is also the furthest away from the starter. There is a second post that is close to the starter that has wires running into the starter.

Funny it's almost 2 in the morning and just got home from work and mid sentence that I am writing I think I know what I may have done wrong, and if this is the case this diagram could be modified slightly. On my mini starter it looks like there is two posts, now on the side there is a little connecter type thing that looks like it could be a ground that I did not connect, what I think I did wrong is hood up the old fenderwall solenoid (old starter side) to the post with the wires that run into the starter itself, but what I think I should have done is run the old fenderwall starter side to the little side connecter thing that I thought initially was a ground.

To confirm that this correction would be right, does the post on the fenderwall solenoid opposite to the constant power run to the post on the mini starter solenoid that has wires running into the starter, if not then I should make the change.

I hope I'm right.... It's just on this diagram when I first looked at the two bolts that the wires go to I assumed that that was the two bolts on my mini starter solenoid, when in fact now looking closer it looks like three bolts, and if that orange strip is representing the wires running to the actual starter that is def. where I went wrong!! Thanks everyone for your constant help!!! So much appreciated!!!
