Think you'll find that was from the + on the battery, but might of had a black insulation around it.

It's your lucky day MrV.... :mrgreen:

The main earth bolts to the front of the engine block (big ring terminal - 17mm bolt iirc) and is approximately 37 inches in length give or take a couple... (it's a bit bendy)
I used to own this Calibra...
I now own this one.
