I'm routing the battery cable from the trunk to the starter on my 68 Road Runner 383 four speed. I ran it from the trunk along the driver's side (inside) following the wiring harness for the tail lights.
Everything was going well until I got to the firewall. Hmmm, not sure where to run it through. I could use the speed-o-meter cable hole but then what to do with that cable. Things look really tight in that area and I’m not keen about drilling another hole somewhere in the firewall. But I don’t see any way around it. It’s not a numbers matching car so drilling another hole wouldn’t be the end of the world but where? Not a lot of options in that exact area and I don't have a lot of extra cable length to reroute it very far.
My question is for those who have done this before, what did you guys do and where did you find worked best. Also what should I avoid or be aware of (other than making sure the battery cable is protected and can’t rub or short out anywhere).
Any advice and info would be most appreciated. Thanks guys. RR Don
