What is this wire and where does it go?? Help! (pic)
Im damn near ready to start this monster, but I cant remember where this wire went. Its at the starter. I thought there was just the one B+ wire at the main post, then one wire at the solenoid. But I have two small wires with small terminals. I cant remember if I pulled them both off the solenoid 
Its been damn near 6 months though, lol. Where does the other small wire go?
Im sure the purple one goes to the solenoid. The black one is the one in question.

I see 3 wires with connector things on them...
Each one of those should go to each post on the starter

And in this schemadic it looks like only one wire goes to the main post, and one purple wire to the solenoid.

Black wire goes to the dipstick and it's a ground.
Then you have one small 16 gauge wire to the solenoid along with the 6-8 gauge wire to the battery.
This is the way mine is wired and works fine, just had it off over the weekend after a motor swap.

Im just trying to remember off the top of my head so i may be wrong but heres what i think. The top right wire connected in that pic is the very short wire from the starter motor which is attatched to the solonoid. The small wire to the left of it is the positive and the lower one is the negative. The extra black wire would be a ground attatched to the negative.

Oh well, thats how it was when i took it off, all the negatives go to the same place anyway I cleaned all the grounds not to long ago and the car started a little better. But now the start problem is back.. And i know i did not see a ground like that anywhere
Only the big one on the block. Coulda sworn there were 3 wires on there. Could be wrong who knows. But they also wired **** up really weird so i wouldnt be suprised.
