I came up with an inexpensive fix for the complicated looking negative cable on the 1st gen.
The original cable as we all know is one cable with two attachment points, they are the frame, and the engine block.
Now you COULD order the correct stock cable at your auto parts store for the sum of around 50 dollars.
HOWEVER What if you could fix the problem cable for less than 20 dollars?
YOU CAN!!

The total cost of these two cables with sales tax was 17 dollars.
I recommend snipping off the extra lead that is coming off the side terminal cable. This extra piece WILL get caught in the oil filter when you go to change your oil filter. I found this issue after I changed my own oil and filter.
