if you are it just slides under it and a black insulator goes under it so it doesnt ground out and blow your fuse many times....ask me how i know, but yeah it just goes on that post and a nut goes on top of that

Yes both ends go to the alternator. it is bolted on the the alternator and on to the M terminal. I think it is a capacitor that helps smooth out current spikes.
