Hey everyone, been a while since I posted last. As some of you know, I've been building a fox due to my last one (Blue 85 GT, carbed) being crippled from a deer. Well, I'm about done and need to install the ground cables. Something is weird though. On the 85 I had, the only ground cables were battery 2 the block, battery 2 the intake, & the weird one that goes from the block to the firewall. Now my understanding is the intake ground is for the sensors (water temp, oil press., etc.) & the one that goes to the firewall is for lighting the dash lights.
The current car that I'm working on is a 84 Mustang with a carbed 302. Convertible motor mounts. My questions are.
1.) Shouldn't there always be a ground to the frame rail?
2.) Benefits of putting one on the frame rail?
3.) Is there any benefit to running 1/0 gauge wires vs standard 4 gauge? That is 1/0 gauge wires for the + & - side of things. P.S. I am going to be running 1/0 gauge wires for the stereo system.
Thanks in advance. I tried searching. Everything that came up was for EFI cars and I am not sure if there is a difference between that and carbed, ground wise.
