From the '70 and 69 service manual....should be one big wire ( from battery) and one smaller wire ( power feed 12v) to starter solenoid same terminal ( the LARGE ONE) and one purple wire to the "s" terminal (smaller connector/start)... seriously doubt your radio problem is the starter wiring..try not to over think this.. do you know what the exact wiring for/to your radio is (different than factory I assume)? factory radio power (12v) should be yellow.. the grey is for the light in the radio.. your radio probably has a "memory" wire that should also be 12v all the time...check your radio wiring..and your starter wiring as I specified

Any chance you had the radio wire plugged on the wrong terminal in the fuse box?

Accidents happen...and I'm guessing the 69 has a BATT terminal and an ACC terminal.

Now that you mention it, I can't remember which one I had it plugged in to. Time to find the radio manual.

So I checked the radio manual and reconnected the wire to a battery terminal on the fuse box. That's where it was plugged in before I disconnected it because the ACC terminal is missing. The accessory wire from the radio is connected to another wire in the existing wire harness. Everything seems to be working fine now. Not site what the issue was in the first place, but it's gone.

Sounds like the wires to the starter are right. I'll double check the radio wires.
