n8ball2013 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 if you follow the negative from the battery you're going to see it goes to the tray area however if you look under that you'll see it continues on to a great engine block ground....

soundstream15 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 that is not my pic, that is where i have my engine block grounded to as long as my battery neg..the ground is only as strong as those weld spots and thats sheet metal..my question is should i ground it to the strut tower instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 N8 already gave you an answer to that, there is nothing wrong with strut tower it never hurts to have extra grounds Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 for a car that doesnt have a frame, use a strut tower. thats what i did and its been working perfectly fine for 3 years. just make sure you sand the paint off where the lug contacts the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
