1968-1982 Corvette Positive Battery Cables (http://www.zip-corvette.com/GroupDetails/SubGroupResults.aspx?gid={252f4e29-4a5e-45ac-81f5-0dbce3e0417a}&SearchType=_GROUP_SEARCH&GroupName=Battery+Tray+%26+Cables) are all routed the same way. The cable leaves the starter, makes way thru the driveshaft tunnel, routes under the battery box floor pan and ends at the battery.
The primary reason Corvette owners replace the positive battery cable is because of *”constant removal and hook-up” of the cable from the battery. The head of the bolt which is integrated into the cable grommet eventually wears out and the threads are often stripped or worn. Battery cables can also corrode internally due to road contaminants, preventing full power to the starter or improper charging.
Well believe it or not running the positive battery cable in a 1968-1982 C3 Corvette can be easy if you have a little patience, and though not required… a lift! The battery cable can still be removed and installed with the Corvette on jack stands; however getting your hands up into the driveshaft tunnel for removal of the clamps will be a little trickier. The main thing is you can’t get the leverage to do the job as you can with a lift.
Zip Corvette (http://www.zip-corvette.com) offers positive battery cables for 1970-1982 Corvettes and positive/negative battery cable packages for all 1968-1982 Corvettes. These cables will come with the “jumper wire”, floor pan grommet, and correct spade lug for attaching to the starter. All battery cables are GM reproductions, cut to correct length and ready to install.
