Default want to replace + batt cable..tried searching...

Ok,
I have searched for an hour and a half. I replaced my starter and negative battery cable about 2 years ago and has been working fine since. I just bought a new battery and that wasn't the issue either. I believe my starting issue is the connection to the starter. Now the black connecter at the end of the positive cable to the connecter is the thing I am concerned about. What is the best way of replacing this...I don't remember off hand but from reading I believe the main battery+ cable goes to the starter. The other little one is green. Where does that go and how can i fix this? I am pretty sure I can figure out that other little cable that goes to the PDC... although from what I've seen I have to splice that as well... Please help. The only real problem I see is that stupid black plastic connecter at the end of the stock positive wire that connects to t he starter...I will be attempting this tomorrow before work and would like to actually make it work on time...
Thanks in advance...

Before messing with positive cables, be sure to disconnect the negative cable before proceeding. And the last cable you hook up when you're done is the negative cable.

It's easy enough to reterminate that lead - PM me your email addy, and I'll send you an instruction sheet.
