Best grounding locations

[ivan12]

I bought some 4 gauge wire and connections so I can ground my car a little better and my gauges stop acting up. I'm going to run a ground from the rad support to the battery. The other one I want to run is from block to frame or firewall. Where would be the best and easiest way to ground? Pics would help me out ALOT, thanks

follow and replace the factory ground from the battery to the chassis. you will see that it is only a few inches long, the shorter teh better. I also upgraded the ground from the block to the chassis by running a new one from one of the bolts that holds the alt on to a spot just under the intake. You will also want to consider running a new pos wire from the alt to the batt, be sure to fuse it 12" from the battery.

That's my plan also.... except I'm running 0/1g cable....

Anything worth doing is worth OVERdoing.....right.

I guess that's true. Well I kept it simple with the 4 gauge and WOW what a difference. I was already thinking about getting a 200 amp alt because of the sluggish cranking and diming lights. The ground change fixed all of my problems, cost like $10 with the connectors and still have a little over a foot of cable left over
