Mini torque starter or the older big 15lb piece of shit style.

I'm assuming a 90's mustang has the mini torque for stock (don't remember what year they switched to a mini torque)
The large cable goes on the same side as the batt positive, and the smaller jumper wire goes on the opposite side all by itself (no other wires should be on that terminal side from the factory except the starter jumper wire

From the factory they (large and jumper wires) were routed with the O2 harness, they ran through those two small brackets on the sides of the block. Two wire from the starter, under the motor mount,one of the brackets mounts forward of the pass motor mount, both cables go under/behind the balancer, then through the driver side bracket (which mounts on the timing cover) then straight up to the solenoid.
