Re: 8 volt batteries?

I have a perfect braided ground cable waiting to be installed in my 54, if I could figure out where it lands on the engine block.

I made cables out of some special high current wire used in a television transmitter. My Packard cranks on 6 volts as good as my modern car cranks. This cable looks a little like welding cable with lotsa fine wires and is quite flexible.

Another thing to keep in mind is the voltage for the ignition system is fed from the starter and if the voltage drop is too great at the starter the ignition spark is greatly compromised making it eisier to flood and hard to start.
