Battery pics and ground strap question

Could someone post a pic of how the battery cables are routed.. both on the battery, and the ground cable to the engine?

Also...how long is the OEM ground strap, and where should it be, on a 2wd 460?

If you really need a pic I can shovel the snow off mine and get you one(there is about a foot on it right now) but the negative cable just runs to a bolt on the lower right front of the block, there's a couple holes you can use, mine is in the lowest one. as for the positive cable it is a short one to the relay then from there runs pretty straight to the frame and around the motor mount and back to the starter,( I may have moved it to around the front of the mount to keep it away from the headers) and the ground strap is about 8 inches long or so and runs from the same bolt as the cruise control bracket on the upper rear left head and just to the firewall right close by. so if you don't get a pic by tommorrow I will shovel it off and take a pic for you if you still need it. Hope it helps Dan
also the strap is about one inch wide and flat, just a braided strap is all with eyelets crimped on each end
