Side trip to the strut tower, final destination is the long bolt on the starter.

in his brevity, what trochoid is saying is the neg cable has TWO mount points - there should be a mount eyelet about 1/3 the length of the cable from the battery - this point mounts with a bolt at the lower/middle of the strut tower, continues along to attach to the TOP/long starter bolt, which is below the oil filter....
