67/68/69 cuda dilemma
So one of the things I had on a wish list for both cudas was positive battery cables. Yes I have charred and tortured looking originals. I also have a 318 as a mockup in my 67. So after buying and trying 3 different "repop" cables that were supposed to be "correct" but were too short. Plus they didnt have the woven heat shielding on the starter end like my tortured looking OEM one has. They had to be returned , I decided I would just make my own for both cars in the right length. I have a car with a mockup engine in it may as well use it. Anyhoo since I figured this might be a problem with many others 67-69 small block A bodies I made up 6 extra cable sets, 3 sets tentatively sold. If anybody is interested let me know. Price for a positive and negative set is about $100 cheaper than Year One. Not concours correct for a 100 point resto, but very nice with good quality materials, and are proper length fit the firewall clip.
