Kelly already answered on the bolts - I'll take a shot at the
"terminals" since I didn't see any responses on that.

The starter is grounded via its housing connection to the engine -
i.e. there is no "ground wire" to/from the starter. 

I assume your starter has a solenoid mounted on it (e.g. little round
thingy about 1.5" in diameter x 2.25" long). The solenoid usually
takes 2 wires - a big fat one from your battery (or relay and then
battery) and a little wire that goes to your starter switch/key. The
terminal on the starter solenoid for each should be clear - the big
fat wire usually has a 1/4" or so threaded terminal with a nut. And,
the little wire is a fast-on (push-on) terminal.

Hope that helps.
