Hey all!
While the car is layed up for some other work I have decided I want to put this battery back in the factory spot for several reasons.
1. I am concerned with this battery taking a hit especially where this car is so low.
2. I would like to get this spot back to get the spare tire set up back.
3. No dedicated Negative cable from batt to motor, currently they are using the frame..
4. between the lack of negative cable and positive connections/drops/ switch, audio style junction box, and the way this thing cranks with the stock starter and alleged compression bump I want to just return it back to stock, nice and close , short length..Give it all the help it needs..
So I have some pics here, and with the help of the factory manual It looks like I need a new oem Pos batt cable that will go over to the starter and both too fuse box 1 and 2 which are on the fender well and on the firewall ..
The negative cable looks like it should have a quick drop to the frame with a little guy and the main cable going over to the engine block with the harness grounds..
What I believe I am missing is a strap that would go to that sme ground point as the batt cable and then to the left?front frame rail...
If anyone can help confirm this it would be greatly appreciated!!
the car is a 94 LT1 6speed
Also, I believe I will need a new battery tray, it looks like they shaved the lip off that will be needed to lock the battery down!!
Thanks in advance!!

 

I would think you can 'fabricate' better than OE + cable for your needs. What gauges of cable are used currently to starter and the leads to AUX 1 & 2? Same for the - cable and add the braided strap(s) as you wish.

 

Yes, this is probably the move... I dont know why ,but in my head I was stuck on a factory style cable.. The very setup, currently on my battery would work just fine..
I still need to get back under the car to confirm the current guage of the starter cable.. I also need to find a new battery tray.

Thanks for the reply!!

 

so just getting back to the gauge question..
The remote kit was using 2awg
The starter and ground cable are still factory with only part numbers on them. I am guessing the wire it self is somewhere around 5/16 barely pushing 3/8" which according to a chart I found puts it somewhere around 1 and 1/0 ???
The aux wires look like 8 or 6 gauge..

 

You want 6 to block #1 & 2, the starter you want to be 2

FSM shows all ! 8A-5-4 changes Metric mm² to AWG for you.
