Topic: Negative Battery Cable for 84 GT 5.0 ??

[hopeto]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm in need of a NOS negative battery cable for my 84 GT Convertible 5.0. It's marked "D9ZF 14301 CB SXN Motorcraft" in several places down the cable. I ordered this car new and it has 1800 miles. Any leads on where to locate a new cable would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you checked with your local Ford dealer?  Of course, like the older generations, you'll have to be careful of updated parts with old part numbers.

Otherwise, you'll probably have to settle for a good used original.

You can check your Ford dealer, but they probably won't be able to find one. They usually only deal with service replacement parts which are not the same even if the part number is. Try Mustangs Unlimited or 5.0 Restoration or some of the other reputable vendors. You may have to recondition what you have.
