Dropped motor for clutch in July. Too many hands helping and connections not labeled. It is finally back on the lift to be finished. I have to route and terminate these 3 cables. Cable one runs to fire wall. Cable 2 is from the battery need to route and terminate. Finally realized that the solenoid is mounted on the driverside fender. where does it get terminated. The manual I downloaded is scanned and can't be searched. I think I discovered the solution for that and will test tomorrow morning. If it works I will mark-up the SHO specific sections and upload it. In the meantime, I'm posting pics of the cables in question. I really need to get this car off the lift. Too heavy to push around the garage so another car can be on the lift. Thanks in advance for your help.

Red cable goes to the solenoid mounted on the fender. Black cable is ground that goes to the top bolt/stud on the starter at the trans.

Thanks so much Chad. You helped me immensely when none of my engine cables were connected. I will just need to terminate the cable from the fire wall and should be able to start it up. I'm assuming that all of this info in buried somewhere in Group 18 of the manual.

Regards,
Carlos
