I believe that if you look at your starter you will see somewhere for a spade connector to plug into. The other end of that wire has a ring terminal that goes to the passenger side fuse box (in the engine bay) and connects to one of the two grounding locations. The ring terminal on the engine harness hooks up to the other grounding point in the fuse box.

the starter takes ground off the tranny itself
out from the case

the thermostat housing ground will not allow the engine to run if its not conected
