Cleaning up the engine compartment and decided to relocate the battery. I intend on using a dry cell and 00 gauge to run to the front. I plan on running a #8 tap to the dashboard. I had considered a drop down box for the battery but that's not feasible. I even considered having a box made for 2
6V dry cells in series mounted under the car because, well just because...... But I think it will be on the shelf in the trunk. A few questions for those that have relocated their batteries. Best to run the cables on the inside of the frame? Mount the battery on the passenger side in the trunk? If anyone has pics of their installation, I would appreciate a copy of them. Part of the compartment clean up is to relocate the ground from the back of the head, and move it away from the linkage and distributor. Has anyone used a different location to ground a 232? I would like both the engine and the frame grounded directly from the 00. But what about if I ground the frame near the front engine mount and allow the ground strap to ground the engine? Is it feasible to ground the engine using the lower starter mounting bolt location.- posted
