Anyone have pictures of how the battery is mounted in the trunk of a w023 car? And wanting pictures of battery cable routing from battery to starter.
I've searched Google. But I must not be looking in the right place.
Is the positive cable ran inside to the engine compartment?
Here are some photos of the battery and cable set up in my RO23. The positive cable runs inside the car under the carpet on the driver's side and goes through the firewall with the speedometer cable. If your car has an automatic trans, the cable could go through the firewall through the clutch rod hole. The cable terminates on a special junction block on the top of the inner fender. The red cable runs from the junction block to the starter. Hope this helps.Anyone have pictures of how the battery is mounted in the trunk of a w023 car?

Yes that helps. Thank you. So I'm assuming the negative cable is grounded by the battery?Here are some photos of the battery and cable set up in my RO23.

Yes, the ground goes under one of the bolts that hold the battery tray to the trunk floor.Yes that helps. Thank you. So I'm assuming the negative cable is grounded by the battery?
I ran a cable from the head to the rear (engine compartment) battery tray bolt which was mimicked from the WO car in my area growing up. Not sure if that is correct.
Here is a link showing the termination of both cables:

Also of note is the lack of the special HEMI only starter relay assembly/heat shield that was featured on the '66 models. I always wondered why they did away with that for 67-up.
Thank you.Starter relay
