first start starter wont stop.

[Jonathans55]

Rebuild is 99% complete. Have a 350sb in my 55 3600. My problem is first time I turned the key the starter enagged and spun but would not stop until I disengaged the battery. I did use a AAW full kit and in assuming I wired it up wrong. I did bypass the neutral safety switch for now and just attached the purple solenoid wire from the fuse box to the neutral safety switch purple wire. Not sure if that matters. This is my first project and any help would be appreciated. She's so close to being back on the road again.
