What is this? A battery cable? IS this end connected to your fire wall? If so, what is the other end of the cable connected to?

I assume green circle is part of the thick long black wire going arround the battery to the negative terminal, what I don’t see is a ground to the starter.
 
It looks like the one you circled in green attaches to the bolt on the negative battery terminal, then the one I circled in blue might go to the trans/starter?

Looks like it.
I'm using a stock starter ground, with a custom short firewall ground, on a wingnut post.

Is it just me, or is your positive terminal, scary close to the strut tower brace?
 
its about 2 inch space, battery bolted down and the red rubber cover goes over the positive fairly snug.
Yeah - good. I always have my - If “worst” happens, what result can occur hat on. Batteries are heavy. Even bolted down, stock brackes can still allow movemet in a collision. The terminal cover might not be enough to prevent a dead short, and a fire.

Thats a fair assessment. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
 
Yea from the picture, the green is the ground connected to the firewall. The blue is connected to the starter

Still need to figure out this misfire. I got the suspension done for now.
