Positive battery cable goes to the BAT+ terminal on the solenoid. Should be the big stud right next to the S connection. Starter cable goes from the other big stud, next to the I connection, down to the starter. Negative battery cable should be bolted to the engine block.

Make sure the rest of the grounds exist. Engine block serves as the main grounding point. Run a ground strap from the engine (usually at the rear of the intake manifold) to the body (somewhere close on the firewall), and a second strap from the engine to the frame.
