Painless Performance is well known for complete wiring solutions. Their Trunk Mount Battery Cable system and Grounding Strap kit are the best way to make certain all vehicle systems operate correctly. For classic muscle cars with late model drivetrains, these two products help protect against errant static (or direct) current electricity that can kill highly sensitive ECMs.

Features

  • Twin 16-foot #1 cables
  • Heavy Duty terminal
  • (1) Large 1/0 Gauge Engine strap
  • (3) 10 Gauge Body Straps
