Where is the ignition wire and what is the crank fuse?

I'm trying to install my remote starter and it said the yellow wire is for the starter. But none of my yellow wires are 12V + only at crank as far as I see. Maybe there is on hidden, any ideas? Also, my crank fuse says 3A on the box but has a 75A fuse in there! And I pulled it and it still started up. Can someone explain how that works? I know I know, I need a haynes manual, and I'm getting one as soon as I can. Thanks!

Mine is an 88' vin "F" the crank fuse only powers the cold start circuit's start switch, and 9th injector. Don't need more than 3A for the starting circuit.

The only yellow wire in my starting diagram is the ignition to gear selector switch.

I knew that manual was wrong. Stupid generic install guides. I did some voltage testing and found a purple wire that fits the bill. Thanks!
