What is the “best” spot to attach the negative cable on the engine? Mine is on the rear head bolt and I suspect it isn’t the best spot. Thinking of starter bolt.
Also, bolt size if know so I can order the correct lug for the cable. Thanks in advance.

Just an old school OEM protectant for cable connections and the like, if you have a non-conductive flavor of choice go ahead and use it.

This is my protocol————When you do not have a dedicated NEG stud on the starter motor, then use the closest convenient bolt to use.. Bolt and thread 100% clean–use any type of a common lithium based grease on the thread and the cleaned battery cable end be wasteful) , and then, make it “tight-tight”..
