Positive Battery Cable issue (not near starter)
While I was checking out the engine compartment of my 1SS yesterday, I noticed an issue with the routing of the positive battery cable on the driver's side of the engine. This is NOT the battery cable issue involved in the recall for the SS (V8) engines, but it's similar in nature.
I noticed that the black plastic wire wrap around the positive battery cable was being cut by the driver's side motor mount since there was direct contact with the motor mount. I moved the positive cable away from the motor mount to make sure it was in fact beginning to cut into the wire wrap covering and it was.
I located another cable running near the positive battery cable on the driver's side that I could secure the positive battery cable to. This moved the cable far enough away to avoid the rubbing of the positive battery cable against the driver's side motor mount.
I'm not sure if this is a V8 only thing or only an issue with my 1SS Camaro.
I thought I would post the info and my workaround to see if others see the same thing with the Camaros.
