I agree.

I also acknowledge that sometimes within the first couple years parts were changed.

MY example of the battery cable was a decisive one because I know that in the early 1970's GM went away from the spring ring cables, and to the best of my knowledge/understanding the current part being sold at the time of my oldest MPC was a replacement that used a bolt and nut instead of the spring ring;
While the reproduction negative cable does have a spring ring end, it doesn't have the correct part number.
