Finding new engine ground

[ten_ton_bass 10+ year member]

I am in the midst of doing the big three and I just realized there is no way in hell I am getting down to my factory engine ground. Even if I could the bolt on it is WAY too big for my ring terminal.

So I need to find a new engine ground. Any suggestions on a good place?

Also is having the 2 grounds gonna screw with the car?

Just try to find a bolt that is connected to a solid peice of metal, scrap off any paint or rust and you will be mint. And you will be fine with more than one ground too

You could always test different spots with a dmm. Just use the battery positive and you should be able to get a voltage reading when you put the negative probe where you want to ground it. Youre definitely going to need sand paper as well

All done and WOW!! What a difference! Its as loud with my remote knob half way up as it used to be with it fully cranked.

I will see later tonight if my headlights still dim but so far I am very happy!
