run the power cable through firewall, secure to inner fender. connect to positive on battery. make sure you run an inline fuse on that power cable

^x2 And I used one of these to attach it to the battery wire attachment.

I got mine at Autozone 2 for $5.

i use a dual terminal batt and use the top post for the starter and truck wiring then use the side post for power wire i have ran, i second that using a copper lug, crimp it on for a good mechanical connection and then solder it for a good electrical connection. if you have a first gen blazer there is a hole on the passenger side just above the carpet and below your main harness that you can run your power wire thru its the antenna wire hole

Where did you get it and how much was it? I cant connect the ring terminal thing because the screw wont screw back in. I know how to run the wires I just dont know how to connect it to the battery.

if the screw is too short, get one that is 1/4 in longer and run a washer behind it

You can pick up a terminal extender at pretty much any auto parts store. I got mine at autozone for like 5 bucks. Just go check out the battery section and they should be there.
