Default Need some quick help....trying to locate three grounding points for engine harness

Yes Ive got the manual out, but it only shows pics of the LH grounding strap on the frame....which I found. Im having a hard time finding the one of the back of the motor on the drivers side and the one on the RH side that according to the manual, is "above the starter". The only black grounding wire above the starter is the one running to the negative side of the battery....is that one of the engine harness grounds? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg

The one on the rear of the engine is located on the drivers side cyl. head in an almost impossible place to reach with intake on the car.
The one on the passenger side is attached to the block right above the starter.
The other end attached to the frame where the small batt neg. cable connects. Remove the cover around the battery and you will find it easier.
