Main battery ground
Ok, here's a quick, easy one for ya. Where exactly does the big black ground from the battery connect? I disconnected it in the process of changing my waterpump, and forgot where it goes. Thanks!

It goes to the negative post on the battery with a small ground wire splicing off to the frame near the battery.

You might be thinking about the braided ground strap that connects the firewall to the back of the right cylinder head.
