Just picked up a remote starter from Sears. It has two clips, can someone tell me where they go?

one to the big nut where the big thick terminals are (Batt,alt etc...)
and the other to the small spade terminal (remove the female connector that arrives from the dash-ignition switch)

this is actually how I start my bus when the "hot start" problem rears it's head, though I have only one wire from the starter spade and connect it to the battery when I'm ready to start the engine.

Make sure it's in neutral, though- I had to chase my bus one day and that was not fun- damn thing has more torque than I thought!
