hey guys..
ive seen the threads on the "big three" as they are called in the forum, but not on the particulars of my questions.
My engine is out being built, and I have a big giant stereo.. ( yes in fact IS rimmed up with a a killer system) haha.
SO, my parts are strewn about in differnet spots right now.. and i did not do the work.. so my OEM wire harnesses are about 28 feet up on top of a warehouse rack on a pallete w all my parts...
Ground wire is easy to see of course dont need to ask about that... but....
Does anyone know how long the alternator to battery and starter to battery power cables are? Im going to upgrade them.
Also, will a standard ring terminal work for each, or is it some sort of OEM proprietary harness mess?
I can imagine they may need to have an edge ground down etc to install, but Id like to order my wire and terminals now.. and have them 100% ready when the engine gets dropped back in soon.
Plus since i cant find thise elsewhere, answering to this thread will put it out there for other searchers.
If anyone can give me a rough measure and maybe snap a pic of the OEM end terminations, Id LOVE that.
Thanks guys!!!
