Re: Battery Cable terminations?

67-72? Silly me but why not put the tray where it belongs and run the + cable as designed and the - to the block, say a front 50s style motor mount hole on an SBC?
I'd pretty much say the same for all years since this might be for 47-54.
Big battery cables should run to the load--the starter, which means to the + solenoid, and the block for -.
For the low + side, feed that from the shortest path to the big + side. Ground the frame at the battery and ground the crap out of lots of body parts and the core support.
Understand the high and low current side of things--the high current side runs the starter. Fill in the blanks.
Use a fusible link or some current limiting on the low side.

This agrees with the statements of Acello above so I guess I'm just talkative tonight...
