Yes, I think my car has 2 gauge. The cable on my Cadillac is as big around as your thumb.
The bigger the better in my opinion. Always makes for good starts, no overheating of cables, etc.

Re: Battery Cable Size
I use the heaviest cables I can find on all my vehicles. Heat is an enemy of electricity and it's hot as hell under a Toro hood. Thicker cables handle electricity better. Why do you want a disconnect? Anti-theft? Time saver for constant under hood work? I don't have battery disconnects on any of my ...

Nice. I'd like that manifold but I'm not ready to mortgage the house.

Re: Heater case gasket
I was not aware that a gasket was used there. I thought they just used that RTV type stuff.

Re: Multipoint EFI for my 1969 Restomod.

Does it eliminate the heat riser crossover?

Re: Paint Identification
My experience with GM paint names is that if the color has metallic in it, it will say for example, Camelot Grey metallic or Camelot Grey iridescent depending on the paint manufacturer. Look for picture of 67 Toros and see if they're metallic. This one sure doesn't look like it to me. https://www.co...

How did you fit an aftermarket intake manifold under your hood?

Re: octane for 425
Yes. The modern AKI octane rating is just an average of RON and MON. The seemingly higher octane ratings of the 60s are really about the same as today's octane ratings when calculated using the same formulas. Premium today is fine for the 425. If your car pings on 93, retard the timing slightly - as...

Re: Heater case gasket
Are you talking about the heater plenum where it screws to the firewall under the hood?
