Battery Relocation
« on: June 04, 2014 - 09:56:13 AM »
Hi Guy`s,
I bought and want to install a Summit Battery Relocation Kit (Sum-G1231-K)and Battery Disconnect Switch(Sum-G1432).Directions that came with kit kinda suck.I did some surfing and boy there are so many ideas people have (not mopar people)on how too do it.I need how to wire both(Battery and Switch)and where to run cables(inside or outside).At this time I don`t want to kill altenator.This is a street car .I do all work on car myself ,but this is a little different and out of my zone.Pictures of mounted Battery Box and Switch location options would be Awesome!
Heres a little about car.
360 426ci stroker,worked Eddy heads, Tunnel Ram with 2- 650 Holleys,727,8 3/4 4.30 Gear.Super Stock 3600 Leaf Springs.

I just relocated my battery, MSD, and Power Disc Brake Vacuum Pump to the trunk of my '71 Chally.  I mounted the MSD and vacuum pump in the right rear (driver side) of the trunk and then the battery box and battery next to it to hide them.  I ran the battery cables through a plug behind the rear seat and through the frame rail and under the firewall.  This was a really pain, took hours feeding the two thick cable together through the tight bends of the frame rail and I probably would not do it again.  I ran all other wiring in a black wire loom through a plug in the trunk along the top of the inner fender of the rear quarter, along the bottom of the rockers, and through the splash guard in the right front inner fender to the fire wall.  I zip tied them to the brake lines and found some snap mounting brackets with self-starting screws for the inner fender.  This was not that bad, just be sure to clearly label all wires and I even drew up a wiring diagram (that is still in progress).

Thanks.  Wiring is my nemesis but I really wanted to clean up my engine bay.
