I relocated my batt to the bin. I need one of those remote terminals so i can use my timing light and other stuff under the hood. Where can i buy it at? I have attached a pic. It's near the fusebox.. thanks

 

Where the + lead goes to the FC fuse block, either side, in or out, there is a nut under the cover that opens , under the main fuse. You might be able to clamp to that.

 

^ or the alt output post. I imagine that maybe summit may have something like that, but I am not sure.

 

I can try and use the fuseblock bolt away from the strut tower. the other side is real lose and don't want to ground it out..lol

 

Use the alternator for power!

 

I used the fusebox and it worked.. gotta learn this haltech.. alot of things to done on it..

 

I used a battery cable pass though... also will help when jumping. My cable is running inside the car on the passenger door seal. You can hook to this just like remote terms... here's a link of what I got http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...chItemId=83333

However here is a link for actual remote terminals...

When doing the timing I just pop one of the fuses and connect to the blade terminal on the fusebox.

 

cool idea

Personally, I'd just buy a self-powered timing light. A couple AA batteries will keep it running for years, plus you don't have those annoying power cables dangling in your way. At the shop, we have a genuine Kowa Seiki (same company that makes the Mazda rotary compression testers) timing light that is just about the handiest tool ever made.



They are relatively expensive (>$100), but oh so nice. Notice how the inductive pickup retracts into the body and the lens extends to focus the light.

A cheaper thing to try, however, is to add a 12V (cig lighter) outlet inside the engine bay and convert the timing light to a cig lighter plug. Then you can also use the plug for other power needs in the engine bay, like plugging in a light or running an electric air compressor.

 

^^ where can you buy this?

 

I can order them direct from Kowa Seiki. If you are serious, I will call them tomorrow and find out what the current price is. I would expect it to be about $120 or so, but that's just a guess.

 

pm me a quote shipped please. i need a timing light real soon as im about to start my car, so why not this one?

 

just hook up the timing gun's + to the alternator's b-terminal.

 

For a *jumper cable* terminal, the alternator stud or the stud on the fusible links block just won't cut it.

Find a Stratus or a 2nd-gen LH car in the junkyard, they made zillions of them so they are common and they all had "hidden" batteries, and nice simple remote jumper-cable terminals. Run a 4 gauge cable from it to the starter and done. Now you can jumpstart the car without having to take your interior apart.
