A friend of mine swapped in a new battery, assumed everything was the same and put the cables on the wrong terminals (previous battery was not the right group #). This is a '77 Lincoln with starter solenoid on innner fender, he disconnected the battery when the wire to the starter solenoid cooked the insulation. My question is when he takes this to the mechanic to check the charging system ( I told him to tell them what he did ) what may have been damaged ? I haven't owned a FOMOCO product like this in about 25 yrs...
He does feel like a total skuvootz.....
