And where should I put the other end of the negative battery cable? It was connected to the top of the alternator shield(if that is the correct name)..
As far as I know, connecting to the alternator bracket is correct. That's the way it is on my '84. Although I've also seen it bolted to the exhaust manifold.

The negative is ground, so all you need is to hook it up something made of metal on the engine. Typically, alternator bracket or manifold is the best.
