Hi,

 

just purchased some battery cables(pos. and neg) and noticed that the ground has a butt connection instead of a ring terminal to screw into the firewall. Would anyone have the length for the ground cable to the firewall and also the length of the main ground wire? Also the positive cable length.

 

I am attaching a pic from http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/.

 

Thanks,

I measured the cables on my car as follows:

 

Negative cable length, not to include connectors --------------- 22 inches

Positive cable length --------------------------------------------------- 25 inches

Firewall ground cable length --------------------------------------------9 inches

 

My cables are the correct OEM, NOS Nissan parts for my '71 240Z.

Thanks Dan, I really appreciate it!

 

The cables I ordered are the correct length. I just need to add a few more inches to the firewall ground wire through the butt connector.

Glad to help when I can.  Have fun with your project.
