gen 3$4 I4, need your help...emergency

I need to find out where the negative battery terminal ring grounded to. The battery negative terminal has two wires, one 8guage and one 12guage.

8guage wire===where???
12guage wire====where???

getting ready to fire up the new rebuilt motor but need the ground. the service manual doesnt have the diagram.

one goes to the transmission, im not sure about the other. I cant tell if its the 8 or 12awg.

One thick one is to engine/transmission area near starter. Then a thinner one to body, below battery tray

alright, thanks fellas, it gave me an idea. i think the 8guage (thicker) goes to the tranny housing thats bolt up to the black plate.

i am stump. the bolt(14mm) that i suspect doesnt fit into the ring. it has to be a 12mm but there are several places that the wire can reach, can someone clarify this for me?

thanks,

alright, i am tired oflook for the right location. i just unbolt the bracket thats on the tranny and stlipped it on.

[RedPhoenix]

to be honest, it shouldnt matter where on the tranny it goes. its just a ground.

no shiet shirlock, but there are bunch of big bolts that wont fit the ring.
