Vibrations

I know you have to check nuts and bolts on these cars, but what happened today was nuts. The engine backfired and sputtered on the highway when I tried to accererate. Then she died. I pulled over tried the key and got nothing. I figured the alternater crapped out. Turns out the positive terminal vibrated off. The wing nut vibrated UP 3/4 of an inch then the cable made its way off the terminal.

I never thought I would have to loc tight the battery terminals. Now I have to go over the whole car.

I am switching over to Poly mounts, I suppose the vibration problem wont get better
