Wiring HELP ASAP I just installed a motor and am doing my last step, connecting the starter and it's wires! I just need some FAST help with this.
Can someone give me a walkthrough of where the wires go coming off the battery terminals? Pos goes tot he starter, then the alt, then the fuseblock? What about neg?
Also the thin grounding strap near the alt, where does each end of that connect?

just did mine. The thin ground strap near alt attatches to the chassis ground to the side of it, it is a factory drilled and tapped hole. Any chassis ground spot will do though if you cant find it.
The wires off battery terminals have two sets, one that goes over to fuse boxes and one that goes back to starter. The black one with rubber gromet attatches to alternator. The red attaches to Fuse box, when i put a wrench on that nut it was seized and broke the damn mount off the side of the fuse box.. not sure how im going to fix that one...
I attatched the black ground that comes off the battery ground wire to a predrilled hole on fender. It is just a simple chassis ground.
The other ones that run to starter, the big ground attatches to the engine block in a drilled/tapped hole right above starter.
Hope this helps,the starter is pretty easy to wire up, Ive got to drop min ebecause I ran the wires all wrong as far as how i routed them and its touching my header. I also couldnt get the main wiring harness to reach the PCM (figure that out) even after raising the car off the subframe to unbind it behind motor, so I had to run it UNDER the ac lines over there by the battery, which I hope isnt a problem.
