I will do my best at explaining this referring to my 93. Sorry I don't have a pic-

From the battery negative terminal there are two wires. One is grounded to the motor. The other which is much thinner is grounded behind the battery.

This thinner wire shares a common ground via a ring terminal with another thin black wire that runs to what looks like an "in line" fuse holder. Can you tell me what that "fuse holder" looking thing is?

the one that goes to the block is the ground cable the other one sounds like its the one that goes to the solenoid?

I believe if it's the one with the in line fuse looking connection, it goes to the computer or harness leading to the computer.

yes 2000xp is right. That "fuse holder" thing is a quick disconnect. That wire is the ground for the EEC (computer).

My neg battery cable goes to the timing cover and I have a small (10G I think) wire connected to the negative terminal that goes to the fender.
