Re: IML: 1965 electricals

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

The color of the cable is irrelevant. They are often replaced with red 
cables where they should be black and black where they should be red.

The cable that goes to the positive side on the 1965 Imperial runs to 
the relay mounted on the fender well, as stated below. The ground, or 
negative terminal goes to the engine block.

To avoid confusion in the future and possible damage during an 
incorrect jump, the negative cable should be changed to/painted black 
and positive have same done in red.

Something sounds wrong there. The positive cable should go from the 
battery to the starter relay & finally, to the starter.
