Battery cables

Does anyone know the correct factory lengths of the negative and positive battery cables for a 1972 GTO 455 HO, top post ( spring type ) battery?
Thank you

The Pontiac parts book I have from 1980 lists the positive cable for all 71-72 A body 455's as 46" (clamp style) and the for the negative, 70-72 T/8's with 455 as 30" (clamp style terminal). Just for reference, it lists the same 46"/30" setup for side post batteries too.

My T-37 has spring ring. I know as I has to remove it the second day I had the car. About 250 miles on it. It was the wrong cable or routed wrong. It would stat running when the key was turned off.
