Getting to a point where I have several power leads connected to my battery’s positive terminal. Between the 2 leads that run the BeCool electric fans, a 2 wires that run the after market RS light motors and alternator wire itself - it’s getting a bit crowed and it’s starting to look like crap. Anyone ever hear of a terminal splitter or extension cord? Something that would attach to the terminal and allow multiple things to be attached to it. Thanks in advance.

Confused. The car all ready has a splitter. In fact it came with 2. There is a junction block on the rad support, hidden by the battery, you can attach extra wires there.
Also the horn relay is a power junction. Most of the car originally connected there, including the alternator.

That would be true on a stock car. Not the case on this Kentucky special (no offense to anyone from Kentucky) but this KY-job came with no horn relay or horn for that matter and no junction block on the rad support.
I got the horn and relay but haven't put on yet.

Look at madelectrical.com, they may have the parts you want.

Thanks Jim. Looks like one of these will fix me up for now.

Just go by AutoZone or Advance and look in the battery cable section. They have a part that is like a brass standoff with a bolt in one end. It screws onto the bolt in the battery clamp (you can hold some cables down with that part), then you can attach more cables out on the end of it using the bolt. They make one for side post batteries with the female posts as well. I've got those on my truck and the other one on the car.
They are like the ones here:

I do like the idea of just putting in a junction point though. Run a 1/0 cable to it and you've only got one cable to disconnect from the battery if you need to pull it.

Look at getting a junction block or fuse block. All this stuff connected to the battery isn't good.... and have you already upgraded your alternator ?

I have a monster cable splitter on my optima, I think it looks kinda cool and I get asked all the time where I got it. http://www.monstercable.com/mpc/productPageMPC.asp?pin=3053

Note the 3 wire alternator to run the sound system.

Anyone know of a slip on connector for the post? I want to hide it under the factory snap ring terminals.
