battery cables
 
I removed my battery cables with the idea of replacing them. But I never got around to it. Now I figured I would reattach them. Problem is that I can't recall how. Positive seems simple. One end to battery, the other to starter. Negative is giving me a problem. One end to battery, middle to lower strut tower. It's the lower end that has me stumped. It appears to have a bracket for both cables near the starter. It's about the same length as the positive. Any help would be appreciated. Pictures would be nice.

On my 2nd Gen it bolts to the starter mounting bolt.

^Same as on SA/FB. The cable end will attach to the block side of the long bolt holding the starter to the trans bell housing. There will be a nut which attaches. This ensures you have solid 12v running to the starter vs. relying on the engine grounding. Most of us run separate grounds to the Alternator in some form or fashion, which helps with charging, spark, and overall electrical health. Good luck,

Do you have a standard 7 or a GSL-SE?

Thanks for the help. I'll try it tomorrow. It's a gslse.
