Battery Cable

I have another question :grin:.

Car..............64 Dodge 440
Engine.........440


Went to pick up a cable today for the negative side ( thought it would be simple ) . Anyways.............does it ground to the frame, or to the engine, or to the frame and then from there to engine (2 pc. ) ? :edgy:

I had nothing to go by and thinking any one of them may be ok, but want to do it right................the first time.

Thanks,
Joe

Most all old Mopars ground to the front of the engine.

Thanks 69 !

my 66 ground goes to the top of the head.

A 2.5 foot negative cable should be about perfect
to ground to the front most manifold bolt.

too many grounds is never a bad functionality (maybe improper looks) i personally bought one of those long braided style grounds that has holes every 8" or so and i first grounded to the inner fenderwall with one of the middle holes and then to the oil pump with the end of that strap on my 69 gtx 440 but make sure there is a little slack to accomadate for engine torqueing

my 72 neg battery cable came with a 2nd ground wire any idea where that 1 grounds guys?

The small wire grounds to the radiator support. There should be a hole for it to attach in front of the battery location.
