1968 battery cables
« on: October 07, 2020, 12:33:31 AM »
after reading thru the threads relating to battery cables it appears that the 68 cables were top post, both black, and the small ground wire that goes to the fender is black, but I was unsure about the small positve wire to the junction block color, red or black?
thanks
steve

As far as I know it's a Brown fusible link to the junction box.

Steve, brown wire as James mentioned but without fusible link. A good source to review is lectric limited https://www.lectriclimited.com/vehiclesearch/result/index/year/109/make/21/model/48?cat=773

After checking a couple of the positive cables on the referenced page of Lectric Limited's site I found that the ones I checked have a brown wire with the imprint. - 14 gauge Fusible Link -
 or - Fuselink 14 ga.  - small white letters...
