i know there's 1 on the back left side(exhaust side) of the head, 1 at the front right side of the head(right after the injector harness, intake side), another 1 is the cable for the negative of the battery.

the alternator may have 1.......but those are the 1's i know that go to the engine itself.(this is for an S13, not sure if all S14's have same 1's, i'll try to get some pics)

the other end of the battery one attaches to the intake manifold. I think you pretty much got the rest of them.

It goes to the negative terminal on your battery. The cable attached to the battery tray goes in 2 directions. one end connects to the intake manifold the other end attaches to the neg. battery terminal itself.

maybe my car is different than yours. theres the one that goes from the terminal to the manifold...then theres the one that goes to the battery tray and keeps on going to???

The negative cable goes from the battery's - terminal to the battery tray, to the intake manifold. That's the end of that ground.

I think you may have an extra cable on your car. both my 90 and my 93 only have the ones previously mentioned.
