Hello Joaquin:

Thanks for the quick thorough response. Perhaps my setup is not original after all, but I have a battery cable that ends with an open end of filaments. The sheathing has been stripped off by about an inch and then there is a cable terminal with a two-bolt arrangement at one end that clamps to the exposed end of the wire. The other end of the terminal is an open circular piece with one bolt through a flanged end that grabs around the battery terminal. The flanges are so badly deformed that the whole cable terminal needs to be replaced, but the cable itself is in great shape so no need to replace that.

I generally like to buy things on the more robust end for these cars. Does anyone have a NAPA part that they think is very good and suitable? Again, I need to know the gauge of the cable in order to purchase correctly. Thanks again.

Cheers,

Jeff Pucillo
