The starter worked this morning, now it doesn't.

That needs to be secured to the engine block.
It's normally secured on the long bolt (and nut) that secures the starter to the engine.
That's the main engine ground.

Hmm, I could swear mine was bolted to my fender or something... Oh well, I'll defer to you on this.

It is, but it doesn't stop there.
It terminates at that "ring" connector I outlined in purple at the long starter bolt.

I dunno how you car is running, cause the later pics still show the main engine ground disconnected.
You got additional grounds on the engine???

Hmm, that makes more sense now. I haven't had a reason to look down there for a few years.

I know he put a bunch of additional grounds on. When it starts, it runs good. It has the 3800 hesitation, but that's it.
