wiring issue 37-640
#1

So I am just finishing the chassis and there are 3 issues.
1. I replaced a 16 mfd 450v wet Ecap and want to make sure I am doing it right. There is one wire going underneath the chassis (pos) and the other wire (neg) goes to the can? I was told that the neg does not go to chassis but to the can itself. I affixed it with a brass screw. See picture..
Is that correct?
   


2. I have a floating wire from a terminal strip to nowhere. It is on the terminal strip with the yellow resistor. When I first saw it it was hanging near the Ecap #66 which was replaced in the past and was all taped up.
I cant seem to find any missing connection but as we know I cant read the schematic that well.

3. I replaced the Ecap that is 69 and the schematic says 20 mfd but the can says 20 mfd 450v and 10 mfd 50v. there are only 2 terminals so how do I affix these? paralell or leave out the 50v Ecap?
   

Thanks
