+ Battery cable

[lak2004]

Mine goes batt-starter-fusible link on firewall-alternator, which raises a question: would it be better to have a cable running from the battery right to the alternator?

and 6' should be plenty....i went to local air-gas/welding supply and got 00 welding cable and made my own

negative too

ran 8ga. from alt to starter lug.... its oxygen free streetwire

soldered copper lugs on

Mine is not like that. It is an 87 TBI.
I will still measure the wire when I get it off.

That damn cable is not coming out tonight. The clamps that hold it alongside the oil pan are kicking my a**.
When I removed the oil pan there were some that the nut was stuck on the stud but I never fixed it. Now I am regretting it.

So I cut the cable in half just out of spite.....it made me feel better for about 3 seconds.

Time for another beer.

hmm interesting, mine is only clamped down on the frame. But I also have a 2wd.

I just replaced mine and its only 4' runs down the frame, its a little tight. I think 6' like everyone is saying will be a cleaner
