Chris,
Sorry I should have been more clear, I was looking at their OHC 6 cables listings and wondering about length. I know the cables are decent, but are the wrong diameter and only avail in black just didn't want to commit and find out there also to short as well. I'll have to give them a call to see what the lengths are. Thanks

Jeff, i have some NOS Packard for sprints i believe..i recently rediscovered them..they are all in Packard boxes..and i have them ID'd
in the 60s and 70s, when ya went to a service station, these are what they had in stock..they all came from the estate of a Skelly station owner...they are all black, no red cables, but they are listed as POS and NEG I will look thru them here in a day or two, ive sold quite a few here in the past, i just packed them up when i moved and lost track of what i have

FWIW;
M&H indicated their cables are 31 & 41" So these are close to OE lengths for anyone looking.

I recently picked up what I would almost refer to as Service Part/cable.
They are DP spring rings but have no part number stamping on the cable, more of a reference number to size. This is the 41" I am currently using in place of my NOS OE which have started to show issue. This a a much heavier/larger Dia cable compared to the OE and has a 1L-41 stamped on it. Perfect length and I like the idea of it being larger. Most will never know it's not correct.

The other is the length. I have a Firebird so the length of the negative cable is super short. What I have now is a good 12" too long and is looped to keep it from getting into the fan while driving. The pos was a bit long but worked. These are NOT spring ring cables but just the 2A cables you can buy at any parts place.

I have not purchased the M&H cables.
I didn't want to drop $100+ on cables at this time. I went hunting and came across the NOS. I was able to find a few for $30 and under. Since it was a crap shoot I just took a guess that the longer cables would be + and so far this has proven to be correct. If these last as long as the NOS have, then I will not need to address this issue for another 10+ years Now I'm working on a hidden battery shut off so I don't have to keep disconnecting while parked in the garage or showing with the hood open all day, it is the constant on and off with the old spring cables that caused most of my past issues.
