Big Three lengths

[negolien]

Could anyone tell me the lengths needed for the big three upgrade?

10-12 ft.

A foot for the battery ground to the header panel area (it's not on the header panel btw). 10 ft for the alternator to positive battery (I used 7 on the Ecotec, but its alternator is at the bottom and can be ran relatively easy. It's a straight shoot). 3-5 ft for the alternator ground.

Order 12 feet, do the alternator first and go from there. That way if you run short, you can easily remedy it instead of wasting cable.

Thanks I was hoping for specific lengths. Trying to get cables pre-crimped and such. I appreciate all replies though. Was thinking 6-7 for Alt+ to battery and 4 each for the neg's. I guess I could just take some cheap speaker wire and run the routs and measure the wire i' am just lazy

Get a measuring tape and measure it dude.

Something like this would help you a lot. I think they sell em at fabric stores. Walmart for sure, but you may have to check the sewing section and not the tool sections.



BTW, where do you plan on grounding the battery? You don't need 4" for the battery one, you can just use the stock ground. That's what I did.

If you still haven't done so, here's a how to on the big 3. It's from the Grand Am forum but you'll benefit from it anyways. Same car/same engine.
