First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Jim, the exsisting battery cable was not long enough for me. I mounted mine on the inner fender in the large cavity behind the wheel and inside of the fender. Never had problems. Also you may want to upgrade the battery cable to a larger gauge cable. Another thing is that you can usually use the same stock solenoid wires.
I found that it did not cure my hot start problems but it sure did cut down on them! Basically you put the ford part inline on the battery cable and attach it like you would normally. then jumper the posts of the stock solenoid. It is really easy to do and MUCH cheaper to put your own together than use the "kits" Paul Z. 68 350 Coupe On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 11:15 PM, Jim <[email protected]> wrote: > First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List > ......................................................................... > I've looked at the kits and read the posts on here for these and it seems > pretty straightforward but one thing I havein't seen mentioned is whether > the existing battery cable is long enough.
