Ok, In that picture it is just sitting there, sticking up like that? After seeing the wiring job someone did, thought no question was foolish on this one. Good Luck & Have Fun, Lorne

I think so.... however it looks like your fusible link is too long. they should be about 6" long

No that wire is circuit protected through the ignition switch circuit protection.

NO, route them away from your header! Turn them towards the engine block especially your B+ cable. Make sure they are secured. You should wrap them away from the exhaust as much as possible. You have it connected right though!

Yeah for sure.  Flip the B+ over to the block side and put some zip ties and wrap it up.

hotrod, if I may add a small note- there should be 2 brass nuts on the stud coming out of your starter. The lower nut is used as a backup for the 2nd nut, with the wire terminals sandwiched between them. Using 2 nuts helps make sure that you don't overtighten and pull the brass stud loose. Ok?
