There may be some wires with large eyelets that attach to the same stud as the Red battery cable.....these usually go to to fuseable links that feed power to circuits in the car....
There is no ground wire that goes to the starter....the starter is grounded by the bolts attaching the housing to the block.......
The neg battery cable from the battery does not go to the starter, it is attached to the block by a bolt....

Ok I only got worried because when I went to hook up the battery the first time the negative post slipped off the wrench and hit the battery terminal and smoked so I thought I hooked something up wrong. So when side post cables touch the battery should I expect a spark every time? Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to blow up my only car lol
