[QUOTE="djjdnap, post: 7967143, member: 542120"] Second interesting thought. I can run my car with no alternator. I can also run my car (after starting) with no battery. Also dc circuits power runs from neg to pos. The only neg is the battery. The alternator serves to charge the batt. the neg cable is connected to the chassis(ie chassis ground) I dont see where the idea of the alternator being a ground comes from when it is only a generator and the battery is what completes the circuit not the alternator. edit: The only thing i can see is that the engine block is cast iron v and aluminum housing which would conduct better.
