negative cable goes to block, and the little one is the frame ground. starter is grounded out when bolted to the bellhousing.

I believe the small wire coming off the negative battery cable connects to the fender at the same location as he main ECU ground...behind the battery and near the starter solenoid. The main negative connects to the block as jerryD already mentioned...
