Ok, I tried to buy wire looms when I bought the wires, but the store only had the universal plastic motormite clip-to-the-wires type. There were wire looms bolted to the engine from my '70 but they were too narrow and cut into the wires that were on there, so I didn't want to use them.
It also freaks me out how close the battery can come to the fender in these cars. At the show yesterday, the guy next to me had the negative battery cable actually touching the fender. Gotta wonder what that does in terms of corrosion. At least it was the negative. I saw some guys also using side-terminal batteries, which makes sense even though it doesn't look original. My battery is too small for the tray and has the positive terminal is on the side that faces the fender, but some of you saw my custom hold-down that keeps it snug to the radiator. It seems like if you have a battery that fits the tray properly (i.e. doesn't move around in the tray) and the terminals are tucked in just a little, you'd be good to go. Maybe I'll buy the right battery some day, but "this one's still good" and the car is a driver after all. -----Original Message----- From: Devin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 12:28 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] HEI ignition wires for SBC The holes are only 1/4" I believe for a bolt that held the original bracket.
