@84 4+3 so is the outer terminal even used then? If the ground and the wire from the battery go on the the terminal that connects to the starter and the small wire that was connected to the s on the old starter slips on to the small connector, then the outer, or lower terminal in this picture, goes unused.

@Ray Quayle I didn't know what the other wire was so I assumed it was the ground. Thank you for the information. This helps a lot. It's pretty obvious I haven't done this before. My dad walked out there today and told me that common sense would say exactly what you did so now I just have to get it all wired up. Thanks.

It can cause confusion, as the cable is black, but you really don’t want to touch that big black cable to the engine block or anything else grounded if the battery is connected. It will certainly get your attention!
