If somebody, not in the know reads this thread the battery bolt mod requires 3/8-16 thread bolts or Allen screws. If you use an Allen screw, it has to be flat on the ends. I like stainless or brass. I haven't had issues mixmatching those metals. I usually use grade 8 nuts on.a stainless Allen...

I never had an issue with the side posts. I run group 34/78 dt, Dual Terminals I've always used -1-1/4" long Allen screws for the battery bolt mod. Make sure the screws are flat ended. Pointy screws will strip.

Yes It's a fusible link. It's never a bad idea to upgrade the cables on about anything GM or any other manufacturer. They're all built to the minimum standard to save a bean or 3. Also upgrade the wire going to the load center.

Yep. I got all 3 sets, years ago. I try to get a set of service manuals for everything. Picked this up 20 some years ago for, I think $2400. I don't remember. Might have been less. It had coolant in the oil. Turned out one of the freeze plugs on top of the head had a pencil lead sized...
