Topic: six cylinder neg cable routing

[Skyway65]

Here's another problem that I have encountered.  I ordered the Scott Drake-concours correct battery wire set and the black cable that I received is way too long for my Jan. '65 200 6.   The original ground location was at the top of the head bolt as in Greg's photo. 
The engineering number and wire length of the Scott Drake part are both different from my factory original wire.  After speaking with someone at Scott Drake they didn't seem too interested in what I had to say.  Has anyone found a correct wire for this application?

Your going to have to open up the crimped end very carefully and cut to length and recrimp

Hi Nate-
True about the cutting and crimping, but the bigger problem is the wrong numbers on the wire!

to get a stencil made shouldn't cost that much any local sign shop should be able to make the stencil and then use some paint to apply done that befor or just call alloy metal products in new york who makes the battery cables and have them make you one to length with no numbers on it.  that could be better have gone that way before (315) 676-2405
