Help!!! my 84 4x4 with a <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">302 </a>bbl, has 3 battery cables,

1. looks like it is connected to the front of block.

2. is attached to the frame.

3. is connected to inner fender looks like a starter solenoid of voltage regulator

OK three is not unheard of....one to the block is battery negative, one to the frame is also battery negative, the one to the starter relay on the fender is the battery positive.....do not mix them up it can cause the alternator to go poof....I hope it isnt too late
