The big red wire goes to the starter, alternator, and fuse block. The small purple wire goes to the small stud on the starter. The big black wire grounds to the side of the engine block.

ok, the black wire from the battery will not reach the engine block in any way shape or form. ( this new 408 block is different then stock ) so i guess i will have to lengthen it to get it to the block. what about the other wires in the diagram? i swear, i did not think this would be that complicated.
