Talking Simple Starter Question

Could somebody identify which terminal is the "S" terminal?

I have a pic from Rob A.K.A. Shoebox's site for reference:

Starter

My Haynes manual says that the wire to the "S" is purple, but that didn't help me much especially since I am partially colorblind

Thanks in advance!

Each one is a different size and there's only 2.

I see your point, but I don't know what "size" I am looking for either.

I'm trying to bypass my ignition switch to test the starter, but my lovely Haynes manual gets only as specific as to say to connect a jumper lead to the "S" terminal. I then referenced the wiring diagrams, which indicates that the "S" is "PPL" as opposed to the only other wire going into the solenoid which is black.

I really appreciate the help and let me know if I am missing something.

The 's' terminal is always the small terminal closest to the block (on any GM car w/the starter on the right side).
