Negative battery cable!

[superbeedave]

Hi guy's, Can someone please tell me what type and what length of negative battery cable goes on a 69 Super Bee 383? There are 23 and 25 inches long with square or round head. I am looking for a concourse or reproduction and not aftermarket stuff.
Thank you, Dave

Dave,
Do you happen to still have the original cables on your car? If you should look at the nose of the cable where the bolt goes through the end of the lead cable head, the round head will have a slight radius to the ends of the head. On the square cable, it drops off at 90 degree or squared off on the end of the head where the bolt goes through.

If a customer is buying both the positive and negative cables, I usually will match up the cable ends so that they will be a matched set. But back in the day, there was no set rule to what was on any particular car.

I would say that 95 plus percentage of the cables that we send out are of the 23 inch variety. The 25 inch cable is only offered with the rounded style head if that should impact your decision.

Hopefully this will help some, so if not, just let me know what other information that you may need.
