[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8579400, member: 661255"] Alternator case to battery is fine. The alternator is charging your battery. There isn't a better place to connect a ground. Your engine block isn't what's charging your battery. The alt case is the ground for your alternator. The only reason you need your block grounded is for spark in the engine. Grounding to the alternator case (which is bolted directly to the block) is plenty of ground for the engine to function. Are you not getting this? Without looking it up, I would guess that your car is unibody. If you really want to be thorough, run an extra dedicated ground wire to the back of your vehicle from the battery. [/QUOTE]
