Starter relay wiring

When I bought my 73, the starter relay was wired, as in the following picture.  I turn on the ignition switch and then hit a push button switch, to start it.  I want to wire it correctly, so I can just turn the ignition switch to start it.  I've included a relay diagram.  Could someone tell me what goes to what terminals.  I'm sure they wired it this way, because they never hooked the neutral safety switch up.

The spade terminal on the relay marked "I" is power from the switch in the start position, the spade terminal marked "G" goes to the NSS, the large threaded lug is battery power and the smaller threaded lug goes to the starter.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Thanks John.  And thanks to smasherofall, for giving me a part number, for a NSS connector.
I picked it up at a local parts store ($17.95).  Spent 2 hours rewiring the starter relay, jacking the rig up and soldering the new connector, to the harness and plugging it in.  NOW I can start the Charger, with the ignition key.  Plus, I have back up lights.  Anyone need a starter button switch, cheap?  :-)
Thanks again, everyone.
