I have had my motor out for a few months now and i have it all buttoned up as of this evening and i was putting some of the wiring back on and the cable that goes to the starter and has the bracket that bolts to the side of the timing cover where does the other end of the cable go does it go to the solenoid? and then there was another factory wiring harness that was also routed under the front of the engine and it connects to the low oil pressure switch and something else on the drivers side that i am not sure of and then where it comes out on the pass side it has to plug ins but what do they go to? sorry for being long winded the car has been apart for a while thanks for all the help guys

OThe battery cable to the starter goes to the solenoid on the fender. Depending on the year car you have it should be on a stud by itself. As for the other harness that would be the O2 sensor harness. It has both O2 sensors and the low oil sending unit like you mentioned and connects on tne passenger side of the engine bay under the intake tube.
