To which battery terminal do I ground the engine?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I want verification. I'm making my own ground cable. 
4' of six gauge Cu grounding wire - $0.00 (found a spool at the job site and helped myself)
2 six gauge Cu terminals - $1.80
1 can of tinning flux - $2.20
labor - $0.00 (I'm a slave to my own car)

negative = ground, unless you have a 50's-60's english car then
positive = ground

I made the cable and grounded to the nut on the alternator adjuster. Next time I have the UIM off, I will ground it right on the engine, probably under the ignition coils on the unused bolt hole.
