Where is the positive or negative lead and the ground on a CB radio?
To get a positive you can go straight from the battery or the fuse box. To ground the CB you should ground it to the body being sure you have a connection to bare metal. A better way is to run a cable, along withe the positive side, directly to the battery. If you run power or ground to the fuse box and a short occurs, you may knock out important systems on the vehicle. Best go directly to the battery, with in-line fuses on both sides of the line.

No, the alternator takes over for the battery once the car has been cranked. Try this, start the car; remove the positive cable from the battery; if the car dies, then you have a faulty alternator. Of course it makes sense to make sure the battery cables are tight at all times.

Is Toyota Tercel 1983 Battery Neg or Pos ground?
I owned a 1984 Toyota Trecel and it was a Negative Ground system. This means that the battery's negative terminal had a ground strap attached from the negative terminal to the car's metal frame. I've owned two 1975 Toyota celicas made for the United States and the batteries were also negative grounded. You would probably have to go back to the late 20s and 30s in the United States to find a positive grounded battery system. Old Ford Model A cars and trucks in the twenties for example were positive grounded battery systems.
