PetesPonies Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 where does the negative battery cable connect ?? And where is the engine to chassis ground strap mounted? And lastly, what length cables ( + & - )are considered correct length? I'm looking for stock location points. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetesPonies Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I found this pic on this site which does a good job of showing cable location. What it doesn't show is ground strap location though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30TRBO Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The large negative battery cable connects to the top starter bolt the smaller one bolts the firewall: See top bolt in firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetesPonies Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 so is the pic accurate enough such that both cables are black in color as opposed to a red and black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all the proof I had time to find. Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetesPonies Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 OK, so the only ground strap to the body is the piggy back line off the negative cable right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
