I've been looking online for some nice battery cables to replace the crappy ones on my cars. I found this looking through NAPA's online catalog. Is this a perfect replacement or what? It even has the right tube connector for the power distribution. What do you guys think?

Not sure how to link to the catalog properly. I'll be back with part #s...

not bad but the starter end is totally wrong for our cars.
If you go to napaonline.com and click on their PartsProSE search, you can plug these #s in to the parts number search.
CBL718225
CBL718132
CBL713816 (this is the one NAPA online suggests for replacement for a 1991 Dodge Spirit R/T, but the top post terminal looks kinda flimsy.)
Jeez what a crappy website!
Actually, it would probably still work just fine, even without the molded OEM starter connector.Originally Posted by 135sohc
Those clamp style terminals are how everything is done nowadays.
Last year I bought a set of NOS factory cables on ebay and the negative cable/harness was made in 2000 and had that sheet metal style clamp on it.
Yup, I noticed my Caliber SRT-4 has those kind of terminals. Maybe they aren't so bad.
I order cable #713816 and #718132 today. They said it had to come from the manufacturer so it will be a while before I get them. I'll post pics comparing them to the original cables then.
Jeremy is this for the R/T or 8V that your going to make the comparison?
It is for my Spirit R/T. Although the '91 GTC TI harness in my Shelby Lancer is just the same.
Damn, it's been over a month and NAPA *still* hasn't been able to get them in. I'm wondering if they'll ever show up. Anybody know if Mopar still has them?
I actually prefer them. They don't seem to corrode, crack, and wear out as easily as the old lead ones.
But then again, I haven't been using them for 20+ years, so time will tell.
4661342 is the part number. Mopar threw them all away years ago I bet.
A super long shot but maybe you might find a dealer who has one sitting on the shelf collecting dust somewhere.
I actually have one sitting on a shelf collecting dust somewhere. Not actually a Mopar one, but an identical replacement.
Man I hoard too many parts.
Thanks for the part number. The cables don't seem to be TIII specific so hopefully I can find something.
Oh man tell me about it. I have so much crap in my garage sometimes I feel like spare parts = ball and chain. I keep telling myself I'll eBay it all off someday.

Sold It
Gave It Away
Trashed It
Crushed It(GLH for one, thought about making it a weekend warrior after I parted it, but ended up finishing it off)
I got tired of it all, couldn't take it anymore lol. I had a shed full of totes NOTHING but TD parts, then there was grandpa's barn, more totes holding... more parts.
The R/T purchase made throwing stuff away so easy lol
Theres been too many times in the last year alone where my hoarding has paid off bigtime.
If you have the $$$ to blow than I suppose you could never keep spares and rely upon finding someone who has what you need at whatever the price is.
But I'm too cheap for that
I don't have anymore 8V cars, don't plan on buying another one, so those won't ever be used again.Theres been too many times in the last year alone where my hoarding has paid off bigtime.

As far as buying up 16V parts... I've already debated about leaving the car scene so that wouldn't be a good idea until I knew if I wanted to go on or not.
CSX and GLH burnt me out pretty good lol
