wait so the valve cover ground that is stock is not the correct place to ground?

All those locations are stock that I pictured in the big 3, Im just trying to find out if I have the right locations

Yeah, all of those look like the correct locations. The block to chassis ground does look kinda silly though, being on top like that. They're usually down lower on the engine block, but yes that is the stock location of it on your car.

Theres one by your ****** to right under you intake..(block to chassis)...i have a 95 Civic and yehh i paid someone $45 to knock mine out...wellllll worth it.

Your gonna have to break off a lil bit of your alt mounting plastic to get a 1/0 terminal on.....i just left the stock one on and added the 1/0 to it.

A good ground to the head is good for the spark plugs:

do I really need that rubber thing that goes on the positive of my alternator, that thing looks annoying, or should I just leave it there after I break some of the plastic to fit the 1/0 terminal on?
