Wednesday, January 18, 2006 - 06:04 GMT Periods are your friend =P Hook up the black wire to the nearest ground possible (chassis usually) and grab an o-type (forgot the exact name at the moment, but they're a metal ring that can be crimped to the wire) connector to go between the bolt on the battery post. There are also whole battery caps that have multiple wire gauges in them-but they're more expensive.
