My mate John had given me a load of welder cable to use, so I fitted a ring to the one end and lay under the car to work out the best route to the boot. I also want to run the fuel up the passenger side, so I decided to run it up the side of the frame rail inside. It was an easy job to do, just time consuming. I also didn&#8217;t have big enough &#8216;P&#8217; clips so had to use smaller ones temporarily. I left enough on the end to allow me to move it round a bit and drilled and gromitted a hole into the wheel well and put the battery clamp on.   <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"316\" alt=\"BigBatteryFeeds.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/BelAir\/2006\/07\/BigBatteryFeeds.jpg\" \/>    I made a matching one for ground, and drilled a hole through to put a bolt in.

I decided on a route for the gauge senders and some other odd wires and made off the ends and taped them up into a loom. With the starter solenoid also connected it was ready to see if it span over on the key. I filled it up with oil, poured some over the rockers and pulled out the plugs to give it a go. I turned the key and over it spun. A few seconds of turning over, then a quick check to see if anything was getting hot. The jump leads I was using as ground for the block were hot, so I connected up the bigger ones and gave it a few seconds more. It built pressure to 25psi, so all looks good. It never had a key, let alone a starter circuit when I got it, so I&#8217;m chuffed with another little milestone for me.    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"443\" height=\"306\" alt=\"OilSernder.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/BelAir\/2006\/07\/OilSernder.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to run the main feed from the boot to the starter, so got the car up on stands at the front so that I could get under it.
