I was just wondering if I wanted to add a ground to my alternatore where would I put it? I hope I am saying this right.

Hook the ground to the engine block or chassis.

I think he meant where to ground on the alternator. Im thinking of mounting the ground on the pivot retaining bolt, and then to the chassis (which I guess it would then also serve as a second engine ground).

isn't it already ground from the bracket to the engine, and well the engine is grounded?

and dan i know your pain, as soon as the stock alt took a dump, i've always had charging issues. not matter if it was a replacement or a high dollar powermaster. just when i thought it was solved a day or 2 later back to the same ****.
