Yes, the lower cable would go to the negative terminal and the grounding stud on the car body. Looks like it was replaced with the braided type of cable. The originals were insulated. I personally like the braided cables cause they are flexible. |

You mean the ground strap from the tranny to the body, the one we always forget to disconnect when we pull the engine?
