I am in the need of a new positive battery cable for my 1970 383 charger.  Went to the local parts stores and came out empty handed.  Checked ebay, reviewed a few old post on this site.  I also looked at year one and found a few options.  My car is just a driver and really don't need factory looking stuff.  What is the difference between the  2 below options?

The second one for 45 looks real close to what I have.  Any other suggestions on places to go?  If the 45 dollar one is correct that seems like a good buy to me.

My links did not work that well.  They are both on that page the part numbers are MC34 for a price of 219.00.  The second one is RQ25 for 45.95.  Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

The second one is a goodmark made cable.

I've been told by more than one person the inner cable wire gauge is not the same as OE and gets hot if you have to crank on it for any extended length of time.

I have not hand on in my hands to verify one way or the other though.

I ended up getting a cable from a place close to me called Hardens Muscle Car World.  I had done business with them in the past and had a good result.  I called and they had just been sold to a place called the National Parts Depot.  I ended up getting sent a part that I think may be wrong.  There package said ( A.ENG 69-70 B-Body, all 69-70 B-Body).  On the same package it had typed small Block.  The part number was 10P-B.  I think I should have gotten part  number 11P-B.  11P-B says it is for B or RB.  The ends of the battery cable 10P-B that I got look like what I have on the car now.  Do I have the right cable with 10P-B, or do I need 11P-B.  Link below to the page that has the cables on them.  Thanks again dodgecharger.com
