Hello,
Okay, there are no negative wires on the starter. The starter is grounded by being bolted to the transmission housing. The braided wires are grounds and are usually grounded by running from either the engine to the frame or firewall on some models it could run from the hood to firewall.
Their should only be two wires going to the starter. One from the battery of course and a smaller one for the Ignition.
I have attached a picture of what your starter should look like and a wiring diagram.
Hope this helps.
