Hi All - been doing searches with no satisfactory result. I have a '65 coupe, small block, no A/C that has been apart and is now assembled and close to starting. My questions are: is this is a negative ground system and where do the positive and negative battery cables connect to on the starter motor? TIA.

Re: battery connection
Mike,
In addition to what Mike said, there is a black ground wire that has a large ring terminal crimped on it. This black wire is attached to the same bolt as the negative battery cable.
Don't let me confuse you here, Mike. There is also a 10 gauge red wire that has a small black wire crimped onto another large ring terminal. This pair of wires goes onto the starter solenoid with the positive battery cable.
Before making these connections, I highly recommend that you check out the December 2004 issue of Corvette Enthusiast magazine. There is an article by Ed Jennings that shows a simple addition/modification that you can/should make to help prevent your baby from "going up in smoke".
Good luck with your '65.
Regards,
Gene- Top
