There's shouldn't be a green wire there-the thick black wire goes on the big termnal and the smaller purple wire goes to the small terminal the rest whatever's left could be a fusible link wire that goes also to the big terminal unless you have 2-small terminal on the solenoid which is used for ignition bypass-
