    Positive battery cable

    Anyone know the length of an original positive cable for a mid-year small block (327) WITH AC ? Thanks in advance, Jack J.

    Check Corvette Central or Lectric ltd websites. They sell them.

      I pulled my original Positive Battery Cable from storage. Its from my 1967 327-350 (L79) coupe with A/C. It is black in color. It measures approximatly 63" long. That measurement id based on center-to-center of mounting holes. Note from the photo that the starter end has a 90 degree bend about 1" offset from the wire. So the 63" length includes this offset. The cable is inked stamped in white 6286181.
      I hope this helps.

        Unlike many PRODUCTION battery cables, GM #6286181 was once available in SERVICE. It was discontinued in October, 1969 and replaced by GM #2980783. The latter was discontinued in March, 1973 and replaced by GM #8907375. As far as I can tell, that part number was later discontinued without supersession. The supersessive part numbers would be OEM quality and fully functional but not necessarily identical to the original.

          As we are talking battery cables. Joe or anyone could you help in providing the difference between 6286181 and the 2983594. Perhaps the length difference? Service replacement number or any other details?

          Thanks Rick

            The 6286181 is 63", center-to-center. The 2983594 is 70", center-to-center. Otherwise, I think they are the same.
