    the battey pos cable goes to the starter, that other fat eye loop with 2 wires to the same stud, bolt it down. then the one purple wire to the forward facing small stud.

    the battery neg cable goes to the trans bell housing with another eye loop or two. aka your main grounds.

    get me another angle of that. like of where the wires are bolted on. it looks like you got way to much on there.

    The furthest wires.. the two small black ones in the loom by themselves..that's your grounds that should go with the neg battery cable to the trans.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    nothing should be on the lower large stud, the pos cable should be up top, with that other wire that fits the large stud.

    Jay.. I think you read that wrong.

    The starter gets it's positive battery cable, then the orange and black (same gauge thickness as orange), That's it!
    The stud on the transmission where the batter ground cable is ..gets those other two small black wires with it for sensor grounds.

    In this picture the starter is fully hooked up. Yet you see those other two small grounds I mentioned hanging there. That's because at the time of the pic, I had not hooked them to the transmission stud yet.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    The ground gets the fat battery negative cable and the 2 little black wires with individual eyes.


    The positive gets the thicker orange wire and the 2 black wires that share the same connecting eye.
    The little purple wire goes to the stud below the positive position.

    The reason the starter kicks the second you connect the battery is because either your positive cable or one of the two other wires are touching the soleniod (purple wire) connection as well.

    I'm telling you ... as BillBoost what the issue is and how to fix it. It's loosen one 13mm nut, hold the wires in the proper orientation and tighten the same nut.

    I'm confident that you can do it.
