Re: Battery Cables USA
Quote:
Decide where you want to put the battery ground wire before specifying a length. I like to use one of the front bolt holes on the passenger side of the timing cover -- ones that were used for front motor mounts. They are 3/8. Also, be sure the frame and body are grounded to the block. External star washers can help make a better connection. Finally, a little longer is always better than having tension on the cable. You will want the starter cable to be routed and clamped somewhere at least a couple inches away form exhaust components.
