easy wiring question please help

Where does the negative terminal connect to on the opposite side of the battery? If I had to guess it looks like on one of the alternator mounting bolts, but I took this engine apart a year ago and forget. 305 carbed stock, thnks

the negative lead from battery normally is a 2 wire . the large one goes the engine , the front of pass. side head . the small one to the chassis , good metal part of the engine bay . the negative lead is ground . no elect. stuff will work with a good ground . good luck .

Re: easy wiring question please help

hey i just got a 1986 camaro with a 92 v8 5.7 liter engine in it . the car was running really crappy so i had to change firing order on the car it was running alot better.. but still wasnt right about a week later i discovred the smog silinoid was disconnected from the terminal where it goes into the top of the engine also the electric was not pluged into the conponent. i did some research and found out the correct way to hook it up .. i started and drove the car about 5 blocks car seamed to be running better then ever smooth and more power . after i turned the car off and tryed to start it up the next day .. car does not start .. as u hold the exnition and pump the gas the engine gets slowly to full running speed as if its running and when i let go of the exnition it turnes off as quick as i let go ?? i also tryed removing the smog silinoid back to how i org found it still same story any suggestions ?? thanks
