If it is anything like mine there should be two 14 gauge wires ( amount some larger gauge wires ), one should go to the ground buss bar at the bottom of the battery tray. The other will head to master panel on its way to the bridge paralleling switch on the dash.

If I can remember to, will check on the weekend against my '79 F32 wiring. This box bridges between both engines, both main batteries, the Fridge, and the Head (switch for flushing). I think it may also be hard wired to the bilge pumps, as they will run even if batteries are turned off.
