But how long is a short circuit? I think I can stretch my wire another foot if I need to

I just call mancini and they send me the right ones...
Spring U-bolts
When I was driving my 68 Barracuda fastback daily driver (factory 318 car), the third 7 1/4" axle failure that I had the driver side axle shaft came out with the tire still attached and passed me on the shoulder of the highway at 55 MPH, the Mancini u-bolts were a little longer than stock and saved me some damage.... The extra length kept the axle from hitting the road and damaging the axle and brake backing plate, and just ground down the u-bolt some.... Luckily no quarter panel damage either (also thanks to the super stock leaf springs)... The gear lube that was leaking out caught on fire, but luckily I had an old towel in the back and was able to douse the fire out with it...
It was only a 318 with 9:1 compression, stock 340 cam, 600 cfm 4 bbl, stock exhaust manifolds, and dual exhaust.... That was the third axle that broke on me in four years.... While sitting on the side of the highway waiting for the tow truck, I decided then and there not to go with another 7 1/4" axle and went to an 8 3/4" axle... I never broke that axle and put over 150,000 k miles on it....
Now I only run 8 3/4" axles in my a-bodies....

Today will suck have to meet with my NEW VA rep to straighten out my service dates. This will be fun they have me in the USN when I was Air guard, no record of active service at all and Just two month deployments with the guard. No wonder why my claims were denied! just happened to find it out when the va sent a letter saying I might be edible for a program based on my service dates!
Good luck...
All good, IF you can get inside the car. Battery was stone cold dead, electric locks would not work.
And you can charge the Battery but no way you are going to jump start thru those small wires going to the power point. The charger I was using is a charger/starter. But you have a point, I could have got it out of gear and released the brake. got hood open then....Good thinking....

But you said you were able to open the door using the key.
Good day to beat on this thing!
Those are air bags....
If I had air bags like those, I wouldn't wear a seat belt....
Her also!
Those are a joke if the batt is completely dead. No way they can supply the kind of amperage needed to start with flat Batt.
Yep.
Going over their heads to get things resolved usually works...
It helped me get the insurance company off their *** when I complained to the BBB and state insurance board on them taking two months to settle my claim...
I got the money to fix the car, now I'm waiting for the reimbursement check for the rental car... We'll see if they cover both months or just one....

They are not designed to do an instant jump, they just allow you to slowly charge the battery and/or get enough power to operated the electrical systems like doors, etc.
And they do work to get enough power to start the car. My SRT battery was dead and I used ours to get enough charge back to start it. It took about 20 mins of connection before it fired up.
