[urq] Battery Cable Replacement (was sudden stumbling)

[Harten Eric C Capt KHQ PAOC/CODP]

Does anyone have some BTDTs for replacing the main battery cables?  Use
the old wire to thread the new one in?  My stumbling is back after 3
days of perfect running.  I can still see my dash lights dimming as I
rev the engine.  The voltmeter I wired to the alt is still showing a
drop in voltage when I rev the motor.  When I first fire it up, it sits
nicely at 14V and will eventually drop as low as 11v at 4k rpm.  I may
need to replace my battery as well.  Does anyone know what size OPTIMA
will fit the UrQ?  I have no cranking issues, but a short I had a while
back drained the battery half a dozen times.  What gauge wire is used in
the main battery runs?  Also, what can I use to replicate the "splice"
for the fuse box wiring?  Thanks for the help.
