1973 charger small block positive battery cable

[Texas charger 73]

so who has made there own positive cable with all the wires for starter relay and everything? I can find any new except two places and they start at $150.00 which is crazy for a couple cables...

I’m looking at this myself. Josh’s has one for under $100, I sent them an email asking if the wire is copper or aluminum but haven’t heard back yet. The sad thing is that the $8 cable from Autozone is usually better than the $150 cable from the repoppers.

I got mine from Evans a few years ago and yes it was $150. Pretty eye watering, but its one of those things that you buy it once and then you are done.

At least from Bill you know it’s actually #4 copper. But yeah, that’s a big nut to crack for a freakin 44” cable.

You know what, I forgot that in 73 the relay was moved up to the cowl. The "cheap" cables that are out there won't fit for you without modification anyway. If your secondary cables are decent, I'd just replace the main #4 cable with a parts jobber and wrap it all back up with cloth tape.

Thanks for noting that, because when I saw your first link, I rolled my eyes...another vendor just assuming that every part is exactly the same from 71-74...and cashing in on people.

73-74 b body small block are by themselves. Actually there are minor differences between the 3 and 4 but close enough to interchange. Although the price tag seems high I guess it depends what you are doing, a restoration or just getting a driver running. Who would have ever thought that a quart of oil for an engine with flat tappets would ever cost $5. 25 years ago a case was only $11.95
