Trunk Mount Batt. Opinions needed
Sorry, no testing yet. I checked and clean and added copper star washers to Batt. to frame ground. Found front cable bolted to Front rail not welded. I welded a nice terminal block on frame. cleaned both end terminals and reattached.(sorry forgot to take pic of welded block). I then ran my starter 1/o wire straight to battery to test directly to starter and it seems to be much better but the starter solenoid on starter will sometimes just click. The jumper on starter terminal and solenoid is 10Ga. Jumper just installed (tight). Battery was 12volts dropped to 11 volts cranking.(I lied one test) I used the starter that worked awesome on my Ragtop 340 for my starter. Now I am going to put a new one in that I just purchased. Now I checked the battery and she was on at 75% capacity. So things are looking up. I will replace with new battery. Install my New Ford soleniod (200Amp. rated) I will go back and finsh putting my 4Ga. from Alt. to ford soleniod instead of 8ga. to stock relay. Eliminate my Disconnect switch. Then I'll see if it is good. If not, I will start dignoising. I'm only going this route as I don't have a helper yet and fiqured I would get everything the way I want it wiring wise.
