I am wiring up my car for it's first breaths of life (project car going on 5 years now).
Because the car had no engine to start with (just a shell), I don't have a reference here. I'd like to see if someone can tell me where some cables go - should be easy.
So - the thick part of positive battery cable should go directly to the starter, correct?
I believe there should also be a small (10-14 gauge) wire that comes from the terminal to a small junction block near the battery. From that location, what cables come off, and where do they go?

OK - so what else connects to that junction post? I'm guessing some wire needs to go from there to the alternator and/or fuse box. Anyone know the specifics (where the wire connects to, what color, what guage)?
Sorry forgot about the alternator connection. I'm out of town at a school for work and getting distracted. Your alternator wire should come out of that splice. All other power should come from the battery post, although I dimly recall some models may have pulled power for the rad fans from the battery? What model?
