Red goes to +, Black goes to --
Don't really understand your question ............

Depends on how you place the battery in your engine compartment, normal way of battery placement would result in the positive terminal on top and negative terminal on the bottom ( looking at your engine after opening your hood ). Connect cables accordingly, don't forget the grounds, to the starter and the body.

Where do the cables originate from. It sounds like you hooked your negative to your positive.

It sounds like you have two wires not connected to anything. I really cant help you out with that. Switch them around a few times to see where they dont smoke at. Good Luck, Im doing my swap next week.

Are they the cables that run directly from the batter itself. If you want I can go take some quick pics for you and post them.

Okay so I looked for you. The negative cable runs from the battery to ground on the transimission. Located right under the starter.

The red cord goes two directions, one to the starter, and the other to the fuse box.
