1965 Dodge Dart 225 Slant Six Battery cables.
Hi, I have been looking at a lot of pictures here in the forums to find one that shows how the plus and minus battery cable are supposed to be routed. But no luck.
The minus cable I have is an inch or so over 2 feet, and is routed sort of the shortest way from the battery to a crew towards the front of the block. Not fastened anywhere.
The plus cable I have no idea how long it is but it lays loose from the battery and past the brake pipe (but not attached to it) and then along the firewall over to about above the starter and then down to the starter.
On the plus clamp on the battery there is a small wire coming out of the clamp itself, but it has been cut at around 3 inches. Then it goes a heavier wire from that little 3 piece wire, connected with a yellow tube clamp or whatever you call it here. It goes all the way to the starter relay on the firewall.
Is this the correct routing for these cables ? I ask because I am not too happy with the plus cable passing the brake pipe so close.
Does anyone know how they were routed from the factory ?
