RE: 5KCSTQ -- Jump Starting



Richard, the positive terminal on my 86 5k is down by the air intake at
the front right side of the car.  It basically looks like a big bolt
sticking up and it should have some sort of plastic cover on it.  As far
as I know there is no ground "terminal" , just hook up the negative
cable to any unpainted part of the engine. On my MC engine there is a
hoist hook right at the front which works perfectly.  Good luck
