Battery cable lengths for 1970 C20 V8 with AC
Hi all, I have been doing research here and and can't seem to find a definitive answer. I would like to know the correct battery cable lengths, positive and negative, for my 1970 C20 V8 with A/C. I need to replace them and would like to order the cables beforehand.
I also searched the GM parts wiki but I'm not sure I am reading it correctly. I came up with 28'' for the negative and 58" for the positive cable. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Re: Battery cable lengths for 1970 C20 V8 with AC
I believe 1970 was the last year with a top post battery.
Here's what I'm using on my 350 '69 C20 with A/C and top post battery in the original orientation... posts toward the radiator support, positive toward the fender. I still had the originals, and these were the closest match. The negative 20" cable runs to the front most exhaust manifold bolt along with the A/C compressor bracket. Wouldn't hurt if the negative were an inch or 2 longer. EDIT: Incidentally, I think I still have the original cables if you want exact measurements.
