Battery ground goes from the battery, to the chassis left fender area then to the starters outboard attach bolt.

starter schematics for 89-92

It's pretty straightforward to see the setup in the car from this diagram (just follow the big wires from the batt)

no starter relay, sorry

Pardon my ignorance. The cars with theft protection do have one. The cars without have a jumper to replace the relay. Mines next to the trail coil assy

So, does your car have theft protection or not?

That was a 87 schematic I attached. I shoulda said something about that.......but I did just now look at the 89 electrical and it has a starter cut relay also.

If the car did not come with theft protection, the relay won't be there, but in its place will be a jumper in the harness where the relay would have been. Usually blue in color. A great place to install a remote start switch for maintanence.

It's a slow day, what more can I say.
