Hello all,

I bought this negative battery cable from Fusick.
Description: Negative Battery Cable, 1966 400 V8, 1967 all

I went to install and then noticed that the pig tail was connected to the engine block end and not the battery post end. I thought this pig tail was supposed to ground the headlight area but it does not seem long enough to do so. Can anyone tell me where exactly this pigtail connects?

Thanks,
Jim

 

The pigtail grounds to the radiator support, the neg side of the battery should be to the front of the car.

 

That is what I thought was the case. I will have to check to see if it is long enough. The pig tail on this harness is off the end that goes to the engine. The 68 and newer have the pig tail going of of the terminal end.

I see what your talking about now. Can't help you as I've never seen that. Does it go to the alternator.

 

My car is a non a/c car so the alternator is on the right side so this would never reach. Maybe I'll call on Fusick. Now that you bring that up though, my alternator harness only had the positive lug and the the push on connector. There is nothing on the ground lug other than a harness strap. See image of back of alternator before I removed anything.

 

I think I may have figured out where the pig tail goes. This image shows a machine screw in the left wheel well that line up pretty good and there is no other purpose for the screw that I can figure.

67 442 for reference

 

Awesome, thanks.

Mine didn't have the stock cables anymore, sorry I couldn't help.

 

Call Fusick and ask. They are always willing to help

 

Looks like it is solved. For 67's the negative from the pig tail goes to the inner fender well and not the radiator support.
