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.
Hmm, I guess first thing to do would be to replace my ground that comes right off the negative cable to the back of the grille area. It's completely toast haha rubber melted almost completely off in a big section.

Then I guess I need to make sure the battery is fine as suggested above. It's only a week old with some cranks tried on it. Then go to the starter. Do I need to check out the alternator aswell?
