Question for Number Dummy
I have a 1961 Ford F100 Unibody Custom Cab with a 292. Where is the proper mounting place for the negative battery cable end. I do have a reproduction Power Punch battery.
Thank you

1961 F100/250 2WD before serial number 150,001.
-------------------------------------------------
C2RZ-14301-G .. Battery Cable-18" long-Black / Obsolete-Superceded
Battery to Ground: 1961/63 F100/800 (gas engines).
Battery to Starter Relay: 1961 F100/250 2WD from serial number 150,001 / 1962/63 F100/250 2WD.
Dave vs Bill
locations for the negative cable.1961/64 292: The negative battery cable was grounded to the R/exhaust manifold.
379651-S7-8 .. Stud-Exhaust Manifold to Cylinder Head / 3/8" -16 -16 x 3 21/64" hex shoulder.
When the manifold was removed, some people removed the stud, replaced it with a bolt, then usually grounded the cable under the bolt.
But I've seen some cobbled up disasters where people installed a loooong negative cable, drilled a hole in the r/frame rail, then looped it around the firewall mounted tray, then grounded it to the frame.
* 1971: Ford replaced all the previous black and red battery cables with dark blue cables.
