Finally got back to working on my car. I wasnt able to do much for close to 7 weeks and it drove me crazy. I want/need this done.
Today I started working on the electrical again. I tried to test out the relay that I bought to fix the neutral safety switch issue. Things arent working right due to the redneck way I have everything hooked up. Ive been using jumper wires to power up the starter from the battery thats sitting on the floor next to the car. I know, not a great idea. Piss poor connections. Im well aware of this but I hoped to figure it all out quickly. Its not working out the way I planned. LOL
That being said, I want to pick up a new battery and cables to finally hook up everything permanently. This leads to my big questions. Whats everyone using for a battery ? Top or side post ? And what gauge cable ? Hook up the ground to the alternator bracket like original or is there a better location ? What about the lug at the end of the starter cable ? Straight, 45, or 90 degree ?
Im planning on running the positive cable along the side of the motor up to the front. Im thinking one insulated clamp will work and then bend it to the battery.
Since most of the wirings finished I dont want to use a remote solenoid.
Any info will be appreciated.
