Engine bay fuse block wires?(10mm bolts)

I took the wiring out of the driver's side engine bay and on the fuse block yesterday.
It got dark and I couldn't continue,so I lost my train of thought today when I got to put new Strung wire in.I rewired the connectors on the Block and moved it to the old trailing coil location,cleaning up the front corner immensely.(I already got the connectors rewired so I don't need that info.)
What I need to know is What wires,from where,go on the 10mm bolts on each side of the fuse block...the Feed and the Other side.
If anyone has pic or info that would be great.Thanks Guys,STYX.

Not really sure what you're asking. Are you talking about the bolts which are normally hidden behind a small plastic plate? And if so, do you need to know where they run (as they are already connected) to or which Black wire goes to the left side and which goes to the right side of the fuse box (as if they are not currently connected). If they are connected to the box then the left side connects to the battery and the one on the right side connects to the ignition switch, both of the breaker fuses at the top of the passenger fuse box, and I believe it also connects to the alternator output wire. This wire also drops below the fuse box and mates w/another Black cable/wire before it runs to the above items.

Hard to understand your actual question, but facing the fuse box from the front, the wire goes to the battery (+). I rewired it so your color wire may not be red. The back side goes into the harness leading back (but not sure exactly where?). That wire is black with white stripe.

Ok.It is Just a fuse block right now,no wires attached to the 10mm bolts on the side.
I stripped the subharness going to the alternator,and down below to the starter.
I am putting on new power cables.My battery is in the Passenger bin.

I did some thinking and I did this Today(not completed yet,rained)
One side of the Fuse block I ran the alternator wire to one side of the fuse block.It T's to feed the Black wire w/Connector(BIG harness)..So far that is the old way that the wire was,before I cremated it.
I "think" I was being confused that I had another wire with ringlet that goes to the Fuse Block and also the positive battery cable.
That battery cable is: B+ to Starter and T's to fuse block??..goes to other side of fuse block.
...
when the fuse block is hooked up Does the alternator run through the Engine fuse as protection?,OR is it before the fuse?

I believe it connects to the output side of the Main fuse.

Well I got no stock coils anymore.I got 4 Aem coils on the drivers side frame rail.Powered by the Haltech.
My lights have no retractor motors as they are no flip ups anymore.
I have no CAS,as I went Haltech with an FEE Crank trigger.
So most fuse on the block are not used.I just wanted to keep it for the engine fuse,and lights,as that fuse hooks into the light system that powers the relays that I still use.
Really you can get rid of the fuse box totally BUT you are looking at alternatives that would be harder to hide.Unless you did a Tuck.

did you figure out which wires go where? I did the same thing earlier this year. I will check when i get home. you have to make sure your alternator wire, actually everything must go though the main fuse. the only thing that goes on the other side of the fuse is the battery 12v into the block. I believe that is the back side of the fuse block. (check to see) i think the side with the metal bar running inside is the power out side. I'll double check when i get home.
