what i do, (on any older vehicle) is just follow the positive battery terminal from the battery to --->will ALWAYS end up at the starter. If you want to bump starter just to see if it works, then try and find the starter solenoid and see if you can't jump (use heavy gauge) a wire from there to the battery for a quick second. Be sure car is in park/neutral/not in gear and don't stand in front. Start should turn over. This basic principle has worked on many different cars for me when trouble shooting, OR, you could get yer trust INSULATED screwdriver and find the starter's hot wire and use the screwdriver to ground out so it will turnover. I don't use this method anymore however.! Hope this helps at least til someone answers for your specific car.
