Main Fuse Box Positive Terminal Location
Hey guys I've been staring at the wiring diagram for this box for almost 2 days and still havn't figured out if this is correct. I am unsure of where to hook up the positive Battery cable and the grounds onto the main fuse box. There are 4 ports to connect to. Also, I am missing the OEM Positive battery terminal plate that usually sits in the location where the positive terminal is....I THINK. Can anyone clarify this for me? This is the only thing keeping me from starting my car!! Any help is much appreciated
Here is the Main fuse box and terminals and what I need

They are both connected to each other and thus both positive. One bolt holds the battery cable and the other runs a line over to the starter (IIRC).
On the other side of the box is a fused (120A) positive line which runs to the alternator.
No ground cables touch this box.
On the other side of the box is a fused (120A) positive line which runs to the alternator.
No ground cables touch this box.

And does it matter which bolt holds the battery cable and which runs the positive to the starter?

Awesome, Thank you so much. So since I have your attention can I ask you about the other fuse box that holds the EGI? That box connects to the "main" fuse box by the two big grey plugs correct? and that box is then Grounded to the frame of the car correct?

The large box gets its power from the small box you were holding in your hand. In stock form, the small fuse box connected to the battery and distributed power to both fuse boxes, the alternator, and the starter. It can be confusing when pulling the loom apart because there is a ground cable in there, but it just runs from the engine to the negative terminal on the battery. When relocating, you can remove this ground if your battery, and block are properly grounded to the chassis.
In the process of this relocation fun myself

^ EXACTLY what I needed to figure out! THANK YOU. So since my battery is "Properly" grounded to the frame of the car back by the rear Bin, I can now Ground my motor (Rear housing to Firewall) to the chassis using a seperate 2G cable correct?

Indeed. Just finishing up my battery relocation that I started in December and forgot where everything goes because I'm an idiot and didn't mark anything when it got too cold to work. I found it strange that it had the yellow stripe on it though. In my limited experience, the ground on anything is usually solid black.
