Where does this wire at the starter go?

I've been messing with my truck, doing a tranny swap. I knocked a green wire (that looks like it fits a flat blade) off, and I don't know where it goes. There don't appear to be any flat blades at my starter....and the truck won't start

I jumped the battery cable and the solenoid terminal, and the truck starts right up.

The truck is a 250 straight six, '78.

Anybody know where this goes? Did i bust a flat blade off somewhere?


The tranny swap is from 3ott to a t-5...the trans part was smooth, fits like a glove...but I was also attempting to go to a hydraulic clutch...that's been a disaster.

EDIT...excuse the crappy pics...

Anyone else got an idea? In the pic above you can see the oil pressure switch, with three fat wires going to it?

You changed from a 3 on the tree to a T5 and now it wont start? What did you do for the neutral safety switch?

I kept the same pedal...I have the neutral switch pulled out all the way, but I'm going to jump the switch in a few minutes, because I'm thinking like you, that somehow i messed up the switch.

Thanks RatRod....I jumped the switch, and SHAZAMM...My rigged up hydraulic pedal doesn't "stroke" enough to close the switch.
