HELP! Power Wire Routing Help. Fuse Block & Alternator to Battery
#1

This is on a '99 F-Body.
Can anyone tell me how GM routes the power wire from the fuse block to the positive side of the battery as well as from the alternator to the positive side of the battery?
I had these wires replaced by a shop and the power wire that goes from the fuse block to the + terminal on the battery is kind of just casually laid across the lid platform. The power wire that goes from the alternator to the + terminal on the battery is zip-tied to my sway bar before being routed up the battery area. I know this isn't the way that GM did it from the factory and I want to fix that.
Also, what color is the wire that runs from the alternator to the + terminal on the battery supposed to be? It is supposed to be red since it goes to the + side of the battery? Mine is black. Is there a difference (like gauge) between the black and red power wires besides color?
FYI, the wires that come off of my battery go to the following places:
Negative to engine block ground
Negative to body ground above battery on passenger side
Positive to starter
Positive to fuse block
Positive to alternator
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If your car doesn't have the clips for the wire loom, just zip tie it against the wire loom for the fans.
