Ok, so wanting to clean/replace some wires under the hood. (this is taking me back to my car audio days).. was wondering if we couldnt use Distribution Blocks to eliminate wire to the battery terminals give it a more cleaner and professional look.

Looks like a solid plan.

I've got 93's EVTM.
A PM with your e-mail address will get it sent.
Offer open to anyone, and includes 2000 EVTM, if anybody needs that.

Incomplete, but still a lot of good info.

I went out and looked at the engine bay, what all i would need and lay out space... this is my positive lay out that i am gonna follow


and this would be the negative lay out..



Ive gotten rid of the A/C components so some of the air will flow better. engine bay doesnt seem to get to hot and all wires and parts are name brand. ive already got about 30 ft of 4 ga wire and friend of mine can get 0 ga for pretty cheap.. all ill have to do is where terminals need to go are buy terminals and solder

the db are water proof, rust proof etc...

My friend is getting me the parts (he gets them under cost) so its a slow process... however he did get me the 0 gauge Cadence Wiring and 0 Gauge Stinger Terminal and EFX ANL fuse holder... shoo soo alternator is done..


You can see the set up, how short the wire is from ANL to battery... about 3"


Night Shot.. it has Digital Read out on it... after sitting for about a week not started, it started right up... and settled at about 14.5, the pic shows 13.9 but i turned on the Radio..


Oh Yeah, the 0 Gauge Terminals are soldered on, not crimped, solder holds better and better connection.

I dunno about cleaners since I haven't seen much of it, but what I have seen sure looks purdy.
