Default Battery cable length

Hi Folks,

I would would like to replace my worn battery cables with HD custom cables. I don't want to go under the car and start measuring as the old eyesight isn't what it used to be. I remember reading somewhere as to what finished lengths are used for an a/c equiped small block. Seems like 67" and 22" comes to mind. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

My old P&A 30 B parts book says 18" and 70" (center of hole to center of hole) for a '64 A/C car. (the 18" becomes 26" for 65 and newer C-2's)

For my non-A/C '66, though, only one of the listed lengths from the book was correct.
