Replacing battery terminals and wires is a cake job. While you're at it make yourself a grounding kit with some 8-10 gauge wire. Try to make at least 4 good contact points on a clean surface of the frame. I suggest using a wire brush to scrape off paint to expose clean bare metal. Most people think it's an import thing but any car could benefit from it and you may get a better spark to your plugs. Kits run about $50 but you can make your own for much cheaper.
