I replaced the sterter yesterday for a new one,   I bought it from Kragen and the screws where the wires go aren't mark and I don't know wich one is possitive or negative also the wires from the alternator goes to the possitive or to the negative?

I forgot to mention that on teh left crew of the starter is this sign @,  Is this possitive?

On my 521, there are only 2 terminals to hook up....one is a spade connector in the middle top that is the ignition trigger wire...on the left is the large terminal that goes out to the positive side of the battery, alternator and the voltage regulator if I remember right...could be wrong but only 2 terminals to hook up...will post pictures when I can...

so this means that I don't need the other ground cable that my old starter had going out of the other screw? (right).  Can you take a picture of your fuse box (the one in the engine bay)  I got a cable going to tha ground of the battery.  Is this correct?

Thanks
