wire question

Do I have these wires in the correct place. The ground cable wire is attached to fender. The other wires from harness and the positive cable are to the junction box on fender.

What's the ground wire going to?

There is no real advantage to adding a ground to the fender. I would run it to the core support to help with the headlight brightness. Grounding the core support and cleaning the headlight grounds can make a HUGE improvement on the headlight output.

The ground is coming off the batery ground cable.

"Run the ground to the support" do you mean the radiator support? I will clean the headlight grounds, thanks for the suggestion!

I had to repalce transmission cooling line and only singled flared the end going into the radiator. Is there a lot of pressure on these lines or not? I was wondering if a single flared line would be good enought for the cooling lines? I hope so!!

:chevy:

as original, there is a small wire with a fuseable link that goes from the battery poitive, to that terminal (junction block) on the fender. Then the vehicle wire harness attaches there, and 'feeds' the entire truck. The only positive wire that is not potected in the entire vehicle, is the main battery cable to the starter. The fuseable link will melt and protect the rest of the truck if something shorts out and the fuse doesn't blow, or if it is on one of the fes unprotected circuits.
