ok got everything wired up except for the 4 ga ground wire. i've read the sticky a couple of times so i'm a lil confused about where the ground needs to go.
could someone clarify for me where the best spot to ground is (kind of a stupid question isn't it?)
The secondary power ground is between the back of the
intake manifold and the driver's side firewall. It is often missing or
loose. It supplies ground for the alternator, A/C compressor
clutch and other electrical accessories such as the gauges.
Any car that has a 3G or high output current alternator needs
a 4 gauge ground wire running from the block to the chassis
ground where the battery pigtail ground connects.
The 3G has a 130 amp capacity, so you wire the power side
with 4 gauge wire. It stands to reason that the ground side
handles just a much current, so it needs to be 4 gauge too.
on my 82 the stock battery ground only goes to the block, so i hooked a 4ga wire from the block to one of the sway bar mount bolts up front, seems to work fine and i cleaned the surface/bolt very well before installing
