For documentation of two different shades of red, go to: http://www.iccahome.org/Click on "Engine Compartment", and scroll 3/4 down page to blue '70 GTX battery cable and click on this image. "Original positive battery cable: The small wire is brighter red in color than the large wire." Restorer Jeff Lilly has said to watch out for cables that are normal O.D. but copper undersized - the plastic sheath is extra thick to fool the buyer...

Chrysler parts book lists part# 2926085 for '70 B body with BB (same part# also shown for '68 & '69)
IIRC, 2926085 is the over the counter replacement for the pos battery cable. 2926754 (which does not show up in partsbooks, at least it doesn't in my 70) is the cable that was installed on 69 & 70 b bodies 383/440.
Badalson wrote an article about this not too long ago.

1969 and 1970 B body are like cables ,,but 1968 was different
Finding a true NOS B body cable is going to be like finding hens teeth
Megaparts and RPM Restoration parts carries the same cable I used to stock.
Dixie carries the same cable as Frank Badalson if I remember right,,pretty sure it's the one made by M+H
Avoid the one made by Antique Battery and the one made by Goodmark.( IF,,, they even still make it ) Both were severly undersized gauge wire and will cause issues down the road
Whats different about the 68 cable? I have an NOS one like the split starter connection cable that is in the Rolik link I bought a long time ago.

That is the difference.68 used the split design at the starter motor.69 & 70 used a connector that was molded as one piece.In the parts book they all share the same part# 68-70.
Thanks , I didn't know that I figured it was a cable made in the 80's .
