Trouble starting



Just make your own.  One fat cable each from the body to battery and from
trans mount to battery.  You can get those nice battery terminals from Parts
Express for next to nothing:

they also have ring terminals to make the other ends if you like, or you can
just buy premade cables.
A nice fat cable from the coil mounting bolt to the back of the intake
manifold also helps.
