My teen is at camp, so his car's available to me, so this week I am tackling 
the battery move in my 92 SHO.  TIA for your patience.  : )

1. Any opinions on where to place the battery, specifically?  Right side?

2. The large, red (positive) wire (in flex conduit) will go through the 
trunk floor and forward along the right side of the car, yes?  I don't have 
to worry about that wire running parallel to the fuel lines?

3. I need some sort of connection fixture to tie the red wire (from battery) 
to the red wire (from starter) that used to attach to the battery.  What 
sort of fixture is best that I could buy in a local store?  (No mail order, 
gotta get this done this week.)

4. The black (negative ground) wire on the battery goes straight to the car 
body in the trunk.  Is it all right to use one of the nuts on the strut 
tower?

5. In the engine bay, the black (neg.) wire that used to connect to the 
battery will now get bolted to the car body.  What's the prefered spot for 
that?

6. Do I need a starter relay in the trunk?  I have one on hand.  How would 
it be wired?

Thanks for help.
