Hi Everyone,
I have a 1985 Mustang that at some point was converted to a 1985 Mustang GT 5 speed with a carburetor by the previous owner. The wiring is kind of all over the place and I need some help with the wiring of the battery. Right now the negative wire going from the negative battery terminal is connected to one of the bolts that bolts the alternator to the alternator bracket, not the chassis. This doesn't seem right? I bought the factory 1985 battery ground wire that has a connection in the middle, I think it is supposed to be connected to the engine block, but where? Does anyone have a 1985 that can tell me or show me where I am supposed to connect the negative battery wire?
Also I bought the factory 1985 positive battery wire and it seems too long, can someone please take a picture of their 1985 battery wiring? Sometimes I wonder if the battery is even in the right place in the engine bay. It's on the passenger side front, just behind the headlight.
Cheers,
Alex
