Default Solenoid Wiring Mini Starter

Just purchased a new Powermaster High Torque mini starter to replace my standard AC Delco starter and I am having difficulting with the hook ups.

Here is how it was wired before (and worked fine)

Firewall Solenoid:
Left (large) Post: Battery cable, MSD red wire, starter red wire
Left (small) Starter Post: Black/yellow wire from key switch starter post.
Right (small) Ingnition Post: nothing
Right (large) Post: Battery cable to starter motor battery post

Here is how it is wired now:

Firewall Solenoid:
Left (large) Post: Battery cable, MSD red wire, starter red wire
Left (small) Starter Post: Black/yellow wire from key switch starter post.
Right (small) Ingnition Post: nothing
Right (large) Post: Battery cable to starter motor battery post. NEW STARTER MOTOR HAS AN INGINITION POST AND I HAVE INSTALLED A PIG TAIL FROM THE STARTER BATTERY POST TO THE STARTER IGINITION POST.

The result is that the starter motor does not engange at all. I have replaced my switch with the same result.

Any ideas? Do I need to connect the ignition post on the solenoid to the ignition post on the starter?

Thanks
