The negative terminal now, has two grounds. One to the body and the other to the engine. The terminal, I'm assuming, has room for only one wire. Does it matter which negative/ground goes in the terminal? This means the other ground, not in the terminal, will get a ring on the end and will have to go to "accessory" post on the too of the terminal.
OK, now I get it...You will be able to put all you positives and negatives on the terminals I told you to get from AAP. The terminals will then go on your battery posts and then put ring terminals on all the wires and mount to the terminal. Do away with the wing nut and put a regular nut or lock nut on the threaded part of the new terminal, wing nuts always seem to come loose!!! Plus, you forgot the small ring terminals for your small wires on the positive side post.

I understand you can out them all on there. For instance, a regular old terminal has room for one wire. I have two negatives... Fat ones at that. One will go into the terminal the other will go on top of the terminal. Does it matter which one goes in the terminal and which one goes on top? Electrically speaking, it shouldn't but I'm just wondering.

but the terminal looks more like this, but with the stud/bolt sticking up:

You will put the terminal over the battery post, tighten it down, then on the stud/bolt that sticks up with a wing nut, put the ring terminals on the stud/bolt, throw the wing nut away and get a real nut or a lock nut and replace the wing nut with it. The stud will hold every ring terminal/wire you will have on both the + and - side! There is only one bolt/stud on each terminal and it will be plenty.
And make sure you put the starter wire on the bottom of the + side stud, then the accy/relay wire, then your other three wires!
