The two white wires? I believe one goes to the alternator fusible link and the other to the battery fusible link in the fuse box.

They can be replaced with audio grade 8 gauge too. I believe they're 8 gauge, I haven't looked at them in awhile. You can also look for the stiffer 8 gauge at an autoparts store too. You just have to track them down.

They're getting fried from your battery making contact with the strut bar you have.
I had something similar like that occur, so I got a new tie down for my battery and bought some terminal covers.

hehe, well actually thats a picture off of the visual tour of the engine website. mine doesn't have a strut bar, but my battery terminal was loose so i think it just moved around and arked... from what i can tell. Luckily my mom works at a electronic place that does all the wiring and soldering stuff so she's hooking me up.
