1971 Trans Am negative battery cable stock placement?
« on: April 30, 2021, 09:08:10 PM »
Ok, so where exactly does the negative battery cable bolt to the block in stock form on a 1971 Trans Am.  I can find a place to attach it, but I'd like to terminate it where it was from the factory.  Anyone have a picture?

Finally found a good picture.  Looks like it bolts to the head bolt stud on the front driver's side.  I have ARP studs, so probably not going to bolt on there.

mine is located on the block behind the power steering pump.
Wonder which is correct?

Mine goes to the front of the head, adjacent to the location shown in your picture.
