I suspect that you've confused different wire bundles coming thru the engine 
breastplate or bulkhead. It's dark up there and there are several wire 
bundles that enter that space. It's easy to get them confused when moving 
from the topside of the car to underneath. The single black wire should come 
from your shift console, but I don't remember exactly how it gets there. The 
shift console also houses the neutral safety switch, which connects back to 
the starter solenoid term #50, so I'm guessing that single black wire is 
cabled along with the starter solenoid wire and then continues on rearward.

Yes, just as I said, although I did not mention the wire color.
