If you have standard exhaust manifolds, use the top route in pic.

Thank you John
It seems the cable loops through only one of the clips/ties and just drapes above the steering shaft. So the right cable length is the key to keeping it suspended high enough to clear everything. I'm close to installing the battery so will soon know how it plays out. Mike |

What am I missing?
I installed the cable and don't like the way it drapes from engine to inner fender. Do I have the wrong "tube" on the engine? Is there another clip on the engine to raise the cable higher? As it sits, I am concerned the cable could contact the shaft which is clearly a bad idea....and it's not smart.... and it is dangerous. Mike |

Looks like the factory diagram, maybe the angle of the tube is too angled toward fender?
says 30º on diagram

OK, thanks again John
I'll take a look and maybe try to bend the tube I'm curious to see others' cable routing. Anyone have photos they can share to show the clearance between + cable and steering shaft? |

Mike, Here is the routing on '69 350 HO, but it should be the same as any V8 A-body w/o RA manifolds. The original cable sheathing is pretty long and extends through the tube down to the solenoid and could provide protections from the steering shaft. The original plastic retainer strap can be seen in the first photo with the dual quad set-up.

Thank you Dennis!
Looks like the engineers used a sheath to reduce risk. I'll try and find something similar. Appears your clearance is about the same as mine so it's just the way it is. It's not a great design but must have been good enough! Mike |

Apparently not easy to find something durable.
Anyone know a source for Kevlar/aramid braided sheathing by the foot? Most of it appears to be PET or polypropylene which won't hold up as well. Mike |
