Where was/is the battery ground cable connected on the frame for a 1956 292 engined car?
Also, what direction does the battery go? Positive toward the front? Or, to the rear?
Thanks.
I know these are dumb questions, but my car has many things incorrect and the manual
doesn't show items like this.
Thanks
Jim

On my 56 the ground cable off the battery goes to the front of engine block and the positive post is toward the firewall. I have a small ground strap off the back of the block next to the throttle linkage to the firewall.
