The large lead and small wire connected to the starter are both positive. Connect a length of wire to the small wire on the starter (this is a spade terminal with a brown plastic protective cover) turn on the ignition switch and the other end touch the positive terminal on the battery. The starter should turn over and start the engine. Remember to insulate the end of the spare wire afterwards.

I ended up taking it into a local shop and having them put it in for me...pretty annoying for just one dumb bolt. Now, I have a different problem though: I have to hold the ignition over for 1-2 seconds before it catches and starts. I thought it was because it's been freezing all winter, but it still does it even when it's been 40 degrees F here this past week. I basically replaced everything in my ignition but my actual distributor+wires, so I don't know what could be causing the hold up...
