A few Big 3 questions

[dyabolical 10+ year member]

I have a 97 z71 chevy extended cab, 350 vortec, stock alt...i think around 100 amps.

My stock ground is from the battery to block, and then a very small ribbon cable from the block to the frame rail.

So should i run from the battery to both the block and the frame rail? Or would just upgrading from the battery to the block and then the block to the frame be sufficient?

From what i have been able to find, there is no ground from the frame to chassis...chassis being body panels and such. Should i add one?

I can take pics to clarify if needed.

Also, what are some terminals that have multiple 1/0 connections?

either way should be fine afaik. batt-block-frame vs. batt-frame-block shouldn't make a huge difference.

not really sure what you're asking here. why do you care about body panels? or am i thinking of something else...

i usually just use terminals that accept rings like this one.

Sometimes the cab does not make a very good electrical connection to the frame. So i was thinking of having a ground going to a quarter panel or such would benefit somehow. I noticed something last night. This just shows how bad my stock ground is. When i roll my windows up, my lights dim. And i am not talking about a tiny bit, it is very noticeable.

Any more input from anyone else?
