[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 4606591, member: 584344"] 1. Go get a length of string and go measure it... or guess and add 2 or 3 feet. 2. You need wire, terminal ends / ground posts (if you want grounding posts. You can just screw it straight into whatever you're grounding it to), crimpers, and if you can find heat shrink big enough, heat strink. If not, electrical tape. You can also use some tubing for the wires you're adding onto to increase their life. 3. The power in your car works in a continuous cycle. The ground for your alternator is your engine block. Thus, to complete the cycle, you have to wire your engine block to your ground [which is what your battery is grounded to]. Thus, the battery and alternator share a common ground: the frame. [/QUOTE]
