Hi Guys!
I'm having a custom battery cable made up by a local auto electrical shop. The problem is that my battery has been out of my car for so long that I have simply forgotten :confuse2: how it goes back in, and there's no real guarantee that how it was in there was the way it is supposed to be, or even if it's the right group/size.
What I mean is, does the battery install with the posts toward the rear of the car or toward the front of the car? And, which side is supposed to be pos and which neg?
What would be great is to find the pix that I've seen "SOMEWHERE" of a stock installation. I can see it in my mind's eye, its a B&W pic, most likely from an official FIAT publication, of a Gould battery (which IIRC was OEM) installed in the car. Jeez, I have seen that pix 20 times in the last year but now that I need it I can't find it! :lol:
Or, if you KNOW your battery and cable installation is OEM, that would work, too!
BTW, the custom cable assy is going to beef up the brown wire by a couple of wire sizes, beef up the starter cable by a size, FI power cable to stay the same, and add one more wire to power Bob Brown's headlight relay mod.
