I'm not trying to be a dick, but the wires can only go on one way, they're different sizes. The ground has a tab on it, just screw it into the block. Hope this helps

it's ok i feel like an idiot for not taking a pic of these things so i could do it correctly. for the starter i have the negative cable grounded to the block, the one wire i question of where it is supposed to go is the ground wire thats on the same line as the sensor that goes into the oil pan. i can't tell if it goes on the black part of the starter or on the screw on the larger portion, it fits both bolt sticking out

yeah i'm a moron

I'm not sure what you need on the alternator, there's like two wires going to it, so I just took a picture of the area. Hope it helps.

If you're talking about the one that is flat and braided, it goes from the chassis to... hold on I'll get a picture.

Edit: It goes from the chassis to a ground on the block behind the O2 sensor hookup. And boy is my engine dirty. Good thing I'm gonna clean all that crap off of it this week.
