My battery has one Sorry J...seen them come off of the valve cover to the firewall, I think that is factory, but I did mine differant

As far as the motor goes, bought the same straps and ran it from the motor mount to the frame, if this doesn't make sense I can take a pic

Also one under the passenger side, where your body mount is, and it goes to the frame

Damn, I shouldn't help you, cause you're going to finish yours first

I have no clue what was factory but what I understand is you should have the batt negative to the block then the block to the frame and body
Thats all I know...
