There are 2 and it's hard to tell the difference is there any way you could see if the inside of that plug matches up

Re: + battery pigtail connection

it's not that one, it's the other.
This is a new tpi positive battery cable from hawks. It has two connectors, one of them (female end ) I am assuming is Alternator plug as you described above. The other that I am trying to figure out , basically looks like the male version of that plug.
Everything that was connected prior to replacement is connected other than my msd which ran straight to battery .
I would like to know what it was for in stock application as I would like to buy the other end and connect my msd using this extra pigtail

Re: + battery pigtail connection

Are your new battery cables the Innovative Wiring cables that Hawk’s advertises on their site? If so, how long did they take to get?
