Yes. I'm assuming you mean the red plastic single term (screw) thingy by the
battery. It ties together the 12 ga from the battery, and alternator to the
main engine harness that connects to the connector under the regulator. It
deffinatly should NOT be grounded.
Awhile back that red plastic thingy got an acronym HRPT (or something like
that ) that stood for Horrid Red Plastic Thingy. ...I think; memory's
starting to go...

Battery is connected but when I bought the car several months ago the
battery would die if left connected overnight. I was in the middle of
looking for a short when my new clock came in the mail so I couldn't resist
putting it in. One thing I did notice when probing with the test light was
that the 12 g red wire from the alternator was grounded. It splits off to a
connector screwed to a plastic piece near the battery. Shouldn't that thick
wire connected to the alternator be hot?
