Alright, my positive battery cable wiring is butchered. Burned wires, cuts, blown fusible links, etc. Anyway, I'm replacing it all and want to make sure its right.

1. How long is it from drivers side battery to starter. I'm thinking 48" should be about right and will measure, but I don't have my car in this area code so I'd like to get a general idea of what I need before I get home.
2. There is no fusible link from battery + to starter, correct? None of my wiring diagrams show that- but I suppose with the current draw of a starter the link would still be rather beefy. What if it shorts out, basically a car meltdown?
3. What gauge is stock cable to the starter?

What a pain in the butt, but no sense doing a whole engine and interior over and leave a few feet of crappy wiring. Thanks for any input.

 

PM me with your wiring needs!!!!

 

Thanks, luckily I have a chilton manual so it covers some of the basics, I just want to make sure I get the right replacement parts!

 

Mine is the GM manual.

John

 

Does it have an answer to my questions I posted?

 

course it does hes talkin about the helms manual its the one shops and dealerships use to work on your car it wll most likely show what guage it is and will deff. show if its got a fusible link in there but i dont think there is one to the starter.

 

Nope, I haven't seen it. Try sending it again.

 

I know, I meant to say "post the answer you tricky Trickster!!!!!!!!"
