Where do the two largest wires on the starter go?

[burlmays9]

I have one large red cable running to alternator and then I have one black cable of which I thought was a ground but I'm finding it is not? I've read that the starter grounds through the casing so I would think the "ground" cable is unnecessary and instead I should have it ran to the distribution block in the front battery tray?

H e l p.

To add to this: When I turn the key I just get a solid click from the solenoid with the cables arranged as one to the alternator and one as a ground.

pretty sure they just go to the battery. My starter on my swap has two wires on the large lug of starter.

Neither of the wires are a ground. One goes from the alternator and the other... I cant remember... alcohol induced post..


EDIT: Just realized that this is in the m/s5x section... idk wsup

One big wire for constant 12v power to starter from battery, the other to the alternator from starter.

Yep got it sorted! I never like to take a chance with anything electrical so I needed some validation, thanks guys!

Got real busy this weekend and I'm not at my house during the week due to working so I just have to take it one weekend at a time. So next weekend should be the weekend for start-up.
