87 5.0 battery cable routing?

Can someone please describe the proper routing and connections for the battery cables?

My non stock neg. cable goes over the battery and down by the pos. cable and on to the engine block.

Seems kinda cluttered up.

neg terminal faces headlamps.
neg cable dips down into the area just forward of the battery ,,,,then.......

on my setup we removed about 1''insulation and bonded the cable the frame with a crimp lug,, then the same continuous cable carries on out to the engine block.

the pos terminal is closest to the starter relay,, simply loops from the + term of the batt over to one side of the relay.
