Sorry it took a while. I've been really busy. Here's the grounds:
I have 2 ground wires because that's what the car came with, since it had subs. I just left them both on, and bolted them down. Can't have too much ground.The copper terminals are fpr my engine cut-off switch.
Here's the stuff bolted into the starter:
Today, I'm going to put a terminal on the end of that terrible looking one, which is the + wire from the battery. My car has a stereo whine. I'm going to put my ground wire set off my stock car on this one, since it grounds in 8 places, all around the engine.
s--- you have alot of grounds... i only have one from the starter to the chasis and one from my endine to chasis and my 0/1 gauge from the battery to the chassi... thx fowljesse
i have a 4cyl with battery now in the trunk and i have burned 2 80 amp fuses so far. should i be using a higher number?
battery to fuse to starter, starter to stock fuse box,
stock fuse box to alternator.
everything in car turns on except the engine does not crank all the way before popping fuse in trunk?
I may be mistaken, but there is no fuse between the battery and the starter. Starter can draw around 400 amps, no problem.
edit, I am not mistaken. There is no fuse.
Now with Moderator power!

a starter can pull upwards of 200 amps on start up, if you are not sure what fuse to put on there put an amp clamp on it and start it under several different temps and conditions, usually for such a high draw circuit though I use a resettable breaker rated for 200 plus amps. http://firebirdsolar.com/200ampdcbreaker.html Like this one.
