are these ground wires?

86 firebird lg4 carbureted

I got these two plugs I don't know where they go. They both have 2 wires. 1st one has a brown wire the other is black with white stripe. they're both like that. (I can't tell if the one on the left is the same or if they're both black)
does one go the alternator?

The eyelet with the serrated ring is a ground. Any time you see that type of ring terminal its a ground

Looks like another in the top right. Those go to the intake manifold bolts. I think one might go on the bolt on the intake that holds the alt bracket.

I know there's a wire that looks like that that goes to the alternator, doesn't it have a smaller ring than those though?
