I am putting my motor back in and there is a black ground wire that is flat. One end of the wire goes to the motor mount and I am not sure what the other end goes to? If anybody knows, please let me know. I was guessing the starter, but I know there are a couple of other ground points so I just wanted to make sure. Thanks

it is a chassis ground, there should be a bolt on the fenders etc. somewhere under the fuse p-anel in the engine bay

There is one bolt in between the battery and the fuse box underneath. What would be the point of having a ground going from the motor mount to the body? And where does the ground wire that connects to the starter go?

The strap from the motor mount connects on the lower part of the drivers side frame rail.
