Great information, thanks for sharing.
Evans Wiring also can supply cables and parts. I don't think they stock cables for C bodies, it's all custom with customer provided measurements. I looked into new cables, but they were very expensive. I think it was about $80 even for the negative cable.
However, they sold me just a positive terminal because that was the only bad part. It has set screws for each cable on the bottom of the terminal, so it looks like it's molded. I prefer soldered connections, but they advised me not to solder it, so I greased the hell out of the cable ends with bulb grease and it's working good so far... The copper strands inside the terminal are still completely soldered together from the original terminal, so I don't think I have a big corrosion potential here. We'll see.
