1967 GTO negative battery cable attachment to the engine
The negative cable ground attachment to the engine: should the cable's metal end be bent 90 degrees? That is what I was told. However, the Ames replacement cable has an end that is straight. Any ideas as to whether to use the cable as is, or bend it 90 degrees? It's a small detail but I want to get it right and photos of this area are hard to find.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
