Make a Clean Looking Mustang Charging & Starting System

Every wiring job teaches you something — and on Kylie's 1967 Mustang, it taught me a few things the hard way. In this episode we tackle the charging and battery cable system for a CVF serpentine setup running a 100-amp alternator and a front-mounted Group 24F battery, and I walk through the mistakes I made so you don't have to repeat them. We get into lug sizing — why 5/16" and 3/8" matter and where each one belongs — adding a fusible link close to the battery with a 125-amp Maxi fuse, why a proper block-to-firewall ground is non-negotiable on a Ford, and how to crimp clean, marine-grade welding-wire cables that won't corrode down the road. At the end, I lay out every cable length and lug size we used so you can build the same system in your own '67–'68 Mustang or Cougar. Final cable notes include: Positive battery cable to starter solenoid: 24 inches Starter solenoid to Maxi fuse: 12 inches Maxi fuse to alternator: 7 feet 3 inches Negative battery cable to engine block: 36 inches Starter solenoid to starter: 30-32 inches Cables and welding wire from the folks at Fast and Quiet.
