this is probably a number dummy question but anyone with the right answer can jump on it too. what is the stock battery cable length for a 79 f 250 ranger with a 351 modified 2 wd 4 speed?

 

You can get away with a +Positive cable of 1 foot, the -Negative 2.5 feet.

If you are getting new cables, buy the biggest (lowest number gauge) you can afford.

I use 00 welding cable. That includes the starter as well.

x2 what bullitt said. O and you may want to change your avatar, I was given an infraction for using that one.

 

battery > ground 34"
battery > solenoid 13"
solenoid > starter 43"

 

alright so can i get the 00 gauge in premade sealed battery cables or do i need to get the wire and some terminals? and i was gonna change the avatar soon anyway why not tonight ?

 

i think this one will do any problems with this one?

 

Single or dual battery? Since you didn't say, I'll go with single.

D1PZ14300D .. Battery Cable to Starter Relay / 13" Long / #4 Gauge Wire (Motorcraft 7134)

D1PZ14300S .. Battery Cable to Ground / 34" Long / #1 Gauge Wire (Motorcraft 6341)

D1PZ14431D .. Cable, Starter Relay to Starter / 36" Long / #4 Gauge Wire (Motorcraft 7364)

 

I don't see why, it appears to have the right "jiggle" to it!
