On a 71 mustang the positive bolts to the solenoid and the negative bolts to the ENGINE BLOCK under the alternator . there should be a braided cable that bolts to the back of the intake to the firewall. A lot of the aftermarket batery cables have a short 10 gague wire built in that should be spliced into a ground to the inner fender .

On every car I've ever worked on the negative cable was always bolted to a rust-free, paint-free spot on the frame.

it is definately negative ground on your stang, but do not let this stand as a rule There ARE positive ground vehicles in this world. An awful lot of Mack trucks are positive ground to mention one popular

Red is positive and to the solenoid.
Black is negative and is grounded to the frame.
All American cars have a negative ground. At least to my knowledge.

positive goes to the solenoid.
neg goes to the frame, then a flexible jumper from frame to engine.
