Motor block ground
Where the ground goes from the motor mount frame perch to the starter bracket and into the block, are there any other ground wires attached to it, or only the one going to the frame perch.
Reason I ask, is I have an extra wire near my starter. I have the purple going to the S, the yellow going to the R. And the heavy wire from the battery and the red wire going to the big stud. But I have a black wire that has a big end on it, like it would go onto the big stud with the positive wire. But it wouldn't make sense that it is a black wire. Looks factory, but it could be bubba

The black wire is a ground for the wiper and fan motor, it gets connected to a starter or bell housing bolt.
