Hey gazza, this is a simple way to work out neg / posi, the possitive post normally has a bunch of wires coming off it, negative normally just has one connected to the post, at least all my vehicles do. If i'm mistaken someone will correct me.

Batteries have the polarity marked on the top beside each terminal.

[Bedfordcrazy]

thats an even easier way of telling the difference. lol

[gazza]

yea but red wire to red wire,,never red to black or fireworks and that funny smell

[Rogue Trooper]

Ignore the wire colour. It is positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-). 

If you go positive to negative you will have a closed loop circuit with 2 lead acid batteries in series and that is very bad.

i just bought a 350 chev by accident on ebay. for 350 bucks. dont even know if its any good. its complete. would it still be worth that much if its stuffed? long motor means it is complete yeh? whats a stage 2 cam also?

thanks
ben

[rossie]

Long motor means complete, but doesn't realy mean carb and dissy and starter. AS long as it got some bore left, its agood buy, l hope its a 010, a stage 2 cam is just above stock, proberbly a gas cam

Well i spoke to my sparky yesterday, and the good news is he has been able to reconfigure my cruise control to get it to talk to my  computer, so i should have a fully working cruise when we start to put the van back together. One less headache ticked off.

Spoke to my sheet metal guy on friday, he will be here this friday to finally finish my bloody tail lights. the pain aaarrrhhh.

Spoke to my mechanic this morning, and he will be here on thursday to connect up the steering rack to the column. oh yeh. and to modify the shifter, measure the tierods, and just finish off small jobs b4 he raps up his part for a while. So when i finish here i need to ring my mate rob and get some parts off him.

Hey desparate, see what you are getting into by buying a beddy, i would not change it for anything.  for some obscene reason i love the nightmare of building a beddy. back to my shrink..
