Those 2 are the ones. I like to add a 3rd heavy duty one from the
starter motor lower mounting bolt to the frame rail. Wire gauge #6 or
larger. That can help starting and sometimes improve charging. One from
the alternator case to the engine block can improve charging as well. #8
or larger for that one.
