JeepAndBassXJ Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 More the better, if you can you should see about running a ground from the alternator itself to the battery, that would be more beneficial than to the transmission lol.

alaskanzx5 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Don't know if you have done it but I did just that engine ground in your pic no help really. The alt mounting bolt should be long enough to do aground from that to battery but I haven't tried yet. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

JEFFYBOI Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I ground to frame or strut tower, ground the casing of the alternator, maybe a bracket on it or if you can drill and tap something. Also you should have a ground going to the engine block. Never hurts to have to many grounds. lol "Toyota Camry rebuild page 21 (link)http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183768-94-crossfire-camry-18s-walled-singer-alt-has-arrived-rebuild-starts-pg-10/page-21 PIONEER DEH-P8400BH 2 CROSSFIRE C5 1700D 2 CROSSFIRE C7 18 HOOD.
