Paul. Wither a standard battery connection on one end and a standard starter terminal connection on the other end, I was quoted 142.50 +tax. Its a bit too steep for my meager existence.

I would first loosen the body side hinge mounting bolts and see if you can maneuver the door in the direction you want. Over the years I’ve elongated or slotted almost every mounting point on my car for wiggle room.

I’m with Roy. A 10′ run of cable require something large.

IMHO #6 AWG is too small.

I would not be comfortable with smaller wire than gauge 1/0.  There are a lot of variables which go into determining the right size, I planned for 150 amp starter draw (cold morning tough start condition) and 10 ft total wire (positive + negative).

What kind of prices did you see Allen?

This is $3 per foot:

Yep. Its up. Thanks for you guy’s  work.

@newkitman – Stephen just resolved this issue.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Allen, Stephen just resolved this issue.  Thanks for the heads-up.

@schu – You and Lois should come on Friday and spend the night, it would be much easier considering the distances.  I’ll send you and email later or tomorrow morning.

Vicenc,

Sounds like Lois and I are in but need to talk about timing because we need to make out way up either Friday evening or cruise up very early Saturday morning.

Maybe speak about this through email. Will send you a PM.

Threw a wheel bearing last time out so still need to fix – been to hot to work in the garage.

September should be much…[Read more]

Wow! After checking the cost for 139 inch battery cable and connectors, I’ll have to see if I have enough room to fit the battery under the passenger seat with the heater duct. BTW… I found some Army flexible orange color heater tubes on the bay. Got four of them ordered.

Just for clarity’s sake, we are talking about September 17th.

Ed is using a different calendar. Doesn’t have a month for Ceasar Augusts.

Probably the only thing Allison did wrong was the huge wind wings.

Easily replaced!!!!

Hey Ed, last time I checked, August was the 8th month. Just sayin’  😈
