once you found the right wire and the car stalls when you try to turn the car on, then you apply the switch to both ends of the wires. it doesn't get any easier than this and you don't need to ground anything, assuming that it's a simple fuel cut-off switch.

if it's a complex one like mines, then you'll need a relay, a constant 12v power source & ground and also on my car, as an added security feature, I carry an RFID card in my pocket, so that if a theif happen to drive my car off when i'm outside the car and the car gets outta range from the RFID card, the car will automatically stall & alarm will start blaring off.
damn i like that one.. i wish i could get something like this.. but i dont have the courage to play aruond with my wires because it would be purely experimental-- i really dont know any really good installers that do that kind of custom work either--they really just usually offer installation of one particular brand of alarm for their own ease.
