[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 3446964, member: 551352"] do this 1) alt positive to battery positive 2) see the negative terminal on the battery? see the wire that comes off it and is attached to the car? thats your chassis ground. add on a new wire there and sand the paint to get a good connection. 3) forget the engine block to chassis ground. go straight from the alt case to the negative battery terminal. why go to the chassis and possibly result in a bad ground (not likely but still possible) when you can go straight to the negative terminal on the battery and get a guaranteed perfect ground? for step 3: see how you have 3 bolts holding the alt to the engine? and see how the bolt on top as that little metal ear holding the positive wire in the air? remove that top bolt and metal ear, and attach your wire run to that point and put the bolt and ear on top of that and tighten it down. then take the wire run and attach straight to the batt neg. forget the engine to chassis ground, there is a better alternative.
