Where do you guys have the negative battery cable attached to? This is a 70 Roadrunner 440-6 car.....thanks
The picture in the article there is a star washer under bolt head.Isn't there also a star washer?
I had always thought the same and even did my last car that way. My 383 RR was not supposed to have that paint. Don't remember where I saw that but it is no longer a firm rule.The negative cable was also painted engine color almost entirely as it was on engine when painted at the factory. I don’t like the look as it isn’t a clean look, but still haven’t decided what to do on mine.
Look at that picture again... there is no washer there, I just installed a new negative cable on mine today and the bracket is punched and looks like a star washer! Maybe it was to make similar dents on the bottom side to bite into the cable?? I don't know, but mine has no washer and there is no washer in that links picture of it either.The picture in the article there is a star washer under bolt head.
Is that picture a survivor? Those two shiny spots I magnified 300% and could say that a star washer could be there. Doesn't matter its only my opinion. The picture I commented on was this picture.Look at that picture again... there is no washer there, I just installed a new negative cable on mine today and the bracket is punched and looks like a star washer!

You have the best view so your right.I'm not questioning MY picture.. that is my car! I can guarantee you those marks were NOT made with a washer, they are factory stamped. That is just the paint missing out of the stamping/serration marks!
I won’t sleep until we get to the bottom of this.
