Other wire goes to the small terminal on the starter. Up on the solenoid. (the smaller round part....) it is a little terminal, with a single small wire going to it. (and probably purple.... maybe)
There is probably a bunch of crud down in the heatsheilds, that is preventing you from getting the socket all the way on. If you have compressed air available, try blowing it out, if you don't, use a pair of pliers, and just yank the heatsheilds out of there. It won't hurt anything not having them there. They hang on nice and tight though... so, it might take a bit to get them to surrender.

Sounds like you either have a cracked plug, wires on wrong/insufficient, or something along those lines...... Probably have a miss, and that will make it drive REALLY funny..... Might be wires arcing too......
