New Battery Cables... Where to buy?
I have a 89 formula 350, and Iv'e been looking around for a set of factory style battery cable.. Positive and Negative for the car, the previous owner used those replacement ends on the battery cables, i hate the post style... anyways, I'd like to get the bolt-in side mount style cables. so does anybody know where i could get these, ebay didn't have anything on it last time i checked it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

autozone, pep boys, murray's, napa.....see the trend? measure the length and go in and buy the same length, they're not sold under 19XX camaro or whatever year it is, but rather by thickness and length. shouldn't be more than $15 for both.

Summit has custom battery/alternator wiring kits. Maybe go aftermarket and upgrade all your main wires. I did and my power is definitely more reliable in terms of a steady supply of power.

Thank you all for the replys on the battery cables... i think I'll check out the junkyard when it gets warmer out.. just today we have gotten over 3-5 foot drifts of snow in some places.. Crazy Norhtern Michigan! The car is put up for the winter all nice and cozy sleeping under its car cover.. haha so yeah i think the junkyard is going to be paid a visit by me.... thanks again for the replys! 
Also i have to figure out something to do about the battery tray... the car is originally from florida so it has no rust on the body.. except for the battery tray... its basically gone.. it'll get fixed tho!
