Default Bigger cable better

Hi Joel

All three of my Chey CMPs have 6 volt systems and have 0 gauge cable. Made up of welding cable they are no longer than necessary and have soldered ends not crimped on. Even with 6 volt batteries I have no problems starting the bigger 261 and 235 engines.

As to the start switch just take it apart and clean it. The old switch have better metal, many of the "new" are made with recycled brass with impurities.

Cheers Phil
