re: " Now I'm considering replacing the cable from the battery to the

That's a good idea (assuming you're using a copper cable). It's a long run for
a battery cable. I think double-ought cable is the largest (or maybe
single-ought?).

Subject: [Healeys] volt drop
Have a 2 volt- drop detected between battery and starter, so cranking is
weak.B I'd thought that I'd already eliminated grounding etc. through visual
investigation , so I figured it that it was the starter armature and therefore
had the starter rebuilt.B Installed the rebuilt starter, and still have a 2
volt-drop.B Now I'm considering replacing the cable from the battery to the
starter with a larger diameter.B Any ideas?
