Re: 5KCSTQ -- Jump Starting

[Kneale Brownson <knotnook@traverse.com>]

The type 44's have an under-hood positive power terminal, Richard, usually
covered by a plastic cap.  In my '87 5kcstq, it's located in front of the
air filter housing.  I don't have your lights, so if, as I've read here,
they project backward considerably, they may be covering up the little
plastic box encasing the jumper post.  Mine has a large red cable going
toward the engine, which I assume leads to the starter.
