Really? SA's have the positive cable to the front of the vehicle and protected with the cover. The negetive cable is attached to the rear most post. I'm not sure you could even stretch the negitive cable far enough to reach the front if you turned the battery 180 degrees. Maybe, if you unsecured it from the fender and took all the slack out of it. Just a detail that stuck out to me. I would not kick it out of my garage over it! An example of a correct, stock SA engine bay.
When I changed my battery this weekend on my SA I had the negative up front
but the new battery was the otherway around and, boy, those cables switched to
have the positive up front really fit well now
It also dawned on me why they put
the rubber cover on the positive, because if the batter is not secured well, it is going
to make contact with the hood and ground out for sure. Its really close to the
hinge on the hood there.
