Battery to cap, cap to d block, d block to amps. Fuse accordingly.

if you need anything sell the cap and save for a replacement battery under the hood

Why is a cap not needed?

More often then not, a capacitor won't help stop dimming lights, either the cap has too high or a ESR or it's just another tax on a spent charging system.

But if you do choose to use a capacitor, keep it as close to your amps as possible, within 18" is best, I don't just mean physically close, I mean short wires. In most installs this should be after the distribution block.
