[QUOTE="Topless Stang, post: 6623079, member: 611689"] I'm not that big into engines, so looking at my engine I can't seem to find a suitable place to use for a ground connection(on the engine). My alt has a couple of free bolts, so could I use one of those as a grounding point? I guess I'm just a little nervous connecting a 1/0 gauge wire to the positive post going to the battery and another 1/0 cable to a bolt going to the chassis for grounding purposes. I know the alt casing is already grounded since it's connected to the engine body in the first place...but I could have sworn I read somewhere that you should never connect a ground directly to your alt casing. Can anyone shed some light on this...and any prior experiance doing the upgrade to a 'stang is a plus. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
