Starter Relay Wiring Question

Having a little bit of a problem with my wiring. I have the top two connections on the relay figured out, but the bottom two are giving me fits.
First off I bought the car without a motor. So nothing was hooked up. I put in the motor got almost everthing hooked up, except the starter relay.
Now the yellow wire that is supposed to got the the relay from the firewall connection is not there. Its like a brown wire or something like that.
It went over to the driver quarter panel. So I don't know what I should connect to the relay. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Here's a diagram of a automatic car starter relay I made up for rewiring Phat69charger, if you have a manual car starter relay it won't have the G terminal on the relay, the I terminal goes to the starter wire the factory color is Yellow which should be position T on the bulk connector, and the other terminal wire G goes to the neutral safety.

74 does have double yellow wire on because one of them is spliced to reset button

NSS brown traced yellow wire is in some case double because the splice to inside the cab to seatbelt stuff... another cases splice is located at bulkhead tranny plug

OK. This is where the problem is.. I don't have a yellow wire. The wire that is comming out of that spot on the bulk head is brown,
and runs halfway down the driver's quarter panel. I don't get it.

Yellow wire comes from engine harness plug. On 1974 engine harness plug does have two yellow wires on diff cavities. One runs to reset button and another one runs to starter relay. Then again from starter relay plug another yellow wire is spliced to reset button ( reser button has 2 yellow wires ).

Inside the cab this two yellow wires sources are ignition switch and interlock control as far I can recall right now... one of them traced black... I don't remember exactly how it is with the interlock stuff, but I can analize and post a diagram about that later.
