The side of the electrolytic cap with the bars going down the side is the negative side.




The capacitor side goes to the radio.  If you you're using an anderson power pole on the filter connection, you need to add a run of black wire inside the filter to ground also attached to the cap.  This cap in this circuit is shunting any AC noise present on the line to ground while letting the DC current pass.
