How many Electrical goooroos do we have in this post...The correct way to install a battery in the trunk is to switch the negitive side in the rear of the car...




While it's a better idea to put the battery disconnect switch in the negative side, the last time I checked, NHRA, in their infinite wisdom, states that the switch must be in the positive side.

As for the OP's question, I run my cables inside until they get to the front firewall. However, my starter cable wire is not full-time hot because I mounted my starter solenoid in the trunk right next to the disconnect switch. Also, the other hot wires going forward [1) from the alternator and 2) to the main power distribution area] are protected by fusible links, just in case they were to ground out. Those are the short greenish-blue wires in the pic.
