Positive battery cable purchase?

[DJ1967Dart]

Greetings - I need to replace my positive battery cable and see 2 leads coming off the starter but whenever I try to find one in a parts store I only see the generic one lead cable. Has anyone purchased a positive Battery cable and a place where I can purchase one with both leads? My Challenger is a has the 383 Magnum.

The factory cables have 2 connectors molded together , if you want original I would start by checking with Roseville Moparts , you can also run 2 separate cables for the most cost effective route

Thanks Chryo - if i went the 2 separate cables route what is the other cable know as in a parts store? Excuse my ignorance lol

 

[Chryco Psycho]

you need to make a 10 Ga wire from the starter up to the start relay

Thanks again for your help Chryco

TIP: slide heat shrink on for the ends before terminals. will help against corrosion.

Call M&H, they have original cables.

Parts stores generally only deal with current parts. Parts for cars from the seventies etc... are available only from businesses dedicated to older car parts like Roseville, Classic Industries, YearOne, etc...

original cable be 10 times making a universal fit

Want the best buy the best, if you want cheap, buy universal.

Truly stated - bought one from Year One - correct fit and finish to original but not cheap!

best appearing maybe but not great quality

M&H will stand by their product, you will never need it though.

I bought my last one from Classic Industries. It was for a small block and is correct in every way right down to the correct wrapping and strap that retains it to the shock tower. No markings though.

I believe it is made be M&H but don't recall for sure. Not cheap either! $150

M&H states they only sell thru Year One but I only see the small block set even at
Roseville. Nothing for RB E-body...?

That’s only on harnesses, YearOne bought the licensing rights for the harnesses only from Mopar. M&H can sell the battery cables directly. I bought two.

Here’s a reply I received from M&H when I asked about buying cables.

Hi Ken,

Do you guys carry the positive and negative cables for a 69 Charger?

“Yes we do,



#40396 for the positive, 383, 440c.i. $115.00, in stock at the moment.



#44009 for the negative, 383, 440c.i. $55.00, out of stock, roughly 6-8 weeks to build.



Thanks,

Ken
