Is 78 inches enough???

Get your minds out of the gutter!

I would like to replace my + battery cable and the longest the local auto parts store had was 78". On Ecklers, etc it says 92" for the cable.

My car is a 73, btw.

Thanks
Shane

go to a car audio place and see what they have.....

you could always run a rope and then measure it afterwards

Did not think about measuring with a string....Great idea!

do audio stores normally carry that sort of thing?

Or your local welding supply store. Heavy Duty welding cable and they can cut it to any length you need and even put ends on the cable for you.

Is there a minimum gauge I should look for?

I think it is 1/0. Take in a good stock wire and compair. But you do want thick copper strands.
