Default Need help asap!

Just pulled my motor and put in a new one, basically new everything! Ditched the A/C as well. The problem is my brain is fried and I can't remember where the thick black negative cable goes that's on the passenger side. Not the one that goes to the battery that is a no brainer but then there are to thick wires that branch directly off of the battery wires. A red one and a black one. The red one goes to the starter and I can't for the life of me remember where the black one goes. I need help fast. Sorry for the dumbass question since once I hear the answer I will smack myself in the head and go duh!



Had to edit this! My buddy who is or was helping me just informed me he doesn't remember where the long bare wire on the drivers side goes. The copper one. He's fired but that doesn't help me any

In my 99 TA it was bolted to the engine block down by the motor mount!

yea it should go to the block. red one goes to the starter. i think you have to feed it through the motor mount so it doesnt fry on the header though.

Anyone got an idea about that long bare copper wire on the driver side? I assume it attaches to the body but don't know where as I wasn't the one who disconnected it.
