Electrical Gremlins......Conundrum

Ran + battery wire to bulkhead connector at the firewall. From there, 2 gauge wire directly to big post on starter.
From small stud on starter, wire run through firewall directly to square stud on relay.
I was very careful making these wires, good ends with shrink tubing over the ends, then put them in the heat protective wrap.
