Dunkin Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 What is the correct length and where does it attach to the block? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 The correct cables are available from Studebaker vendors. Endurance Built Products had them reproduced in the correct lengths. The attachment point is the oil filler block off plate at the front of the lifter valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkin Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I know you can get them from the vendors and even some parts stores. I was looking at the block off plate, thought that was a strange place to ground it the battery. Again, thank you this one has it running to the bellhousing on the left side.

The 17 inch ground cable is attached to the water manifold bolt below the bolt that holds the bracket for the reservoir tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mox Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 On page B-50 of the authenticity manual it says the correct placement is on the power steering bracket, on page B-54 it says it is bolted to the engine block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reproduction ground cable from Endurance Built Products is 17 inches long. A 17 inch long cable will not reach the block off plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti1963! Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 The correct mounting is to the water manifold bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) It's the positive cable that's 17" long. the correct ground cable that reaches the oil filler block off plate bolt is a longer cable. Endurance Built products makes BOTH cables. Edited August 3, 2022 by brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to check the Endurance Built Product website for the correct length of the 2 positive cables available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
