Anyone have a pic or can describe how you ran battery cable to starter with battery in trunk and headers ???
Just not finding a decent way to run it

Start at post #83. Most of my text pertains to the brake lines but the bright red battery cable is visible all along the driver’s frame rail. It’s on the driver’s side because 455 Oldsmobile, Olds starters are on that side.

Should give you some ideas anyways.

Hahaha thanks.
It’s been inactive for longer than I care to admit, but that should be changing here in within the next 8-10 months. I’m REALLY looking forward to getting back to it.
Hopefully the pics were helpful in the idea department.

Tony, give me a few and I'll get you a pic of mine. The cable runs down the pass side, then through the frame and exits under the header and loops back to the starter.

I'll have to look at the holes in the frame up there. Thanks for the pictures. Now I think I can figure it out.
Btw I have about 25 feet of that lava header wrap I was thinking about using around the cable for heat and chaffing resistance
Sound ok to you guys?

It'll work just fine. I just have some DEI heat wrap over this one and only from where it exits the frame to the starter. It's been like this for years and with the old engine setup too, never had a problem.
