OE Assy Line Battery Cables

Can someone post some pictures of correct assy line positive and negative battery cables? (70-1 E Body small block) I thought I remember reading that assy line cables had some head markings different from "correct" repops and also had a spine on the main cables? Thanks for any education!!

best I can remember the difference was the color of the cable coating varied slightly

Sorry, dont have any pics

This is from one of Frank Badalson's articles when he was writing tech for MCG years ago, he said the cables on the left(being sold by MP or other vendors at the time as correct) were most definately incorrect. The one's on the right respectively were correct.

Also the small cable was a different shade of red the the main cable. As a note, assy. line batteries had marking that the repos don't.

Here's a picture of what I am led to believe is a production line syle negative cable.

Here's a big block positive. As you can see the red's are a little different color. I'd say there was a chance that some of the originals were the same color but most that I have seen are different now. Not sure if they started that way or aged differently over 40-50 years.

Here are some pictures of an original from one of my 71 barracuda small block cars.

i asked the same question a few weeks ago, no one answered. guess your a heavy hitter here jim. LOL...

either way, outstanding reference pics, this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you to all posters.

Here is an NOS 68 A-body positive cable I had a few years back.
Two different colors as stated plus this had the part number 2770622 scripted...I dont know if assembly line cable had the part number scripted on them.

Here is a 67 B-body positive cable I currently have that has the scripted number as well.
Also pics of ends

sorry Mike!😁

Some of the reproduction cables are really close. As you can see by the pic provided originals cables have a lot of details! Two different reds on the cables, green secondary wire, tag near the starter lugs, etc.
A dead give away to an original cable is the larger primary wire is a flat red color and softer insulating material than reproductions, which are shiny and hard.
On the negative reproduction cables the black insulation is a fraction thicker than originals which are around .255” overall. There is no negative cabling available that matches the originals due to dot regulations.
The only reason I know that is because I worked with the company that produces the nicest cables out there and provided them all the nos/ production samples.
