I was working on my 64 F100
over the weekend and needed to replace the positive battery cable because the terminal clamp broke.
Got a new generic cable from the parts store and it has a smaller accessory wire with a butt splice connector coming off the larger terminal end (just like the one i removed).
Now time for the dumb question: once i strip the end off the wire that needs power and slip in into the splice connector...do i just crimp it? Heat it? Both? Throw the whole thing away because it's a Ford?
