Amart88 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I got a Ohio generator 270a hairpin alt to replace my stock one a few months ago and lately I see people talking about running power and GROUNDS from your HO alt. Mine has no ground studs... I don't know why. I caled ohio gen and they said there is no ground stud on them.??? Is this ok? seems strange from what I have been reading... Stock batt is is the trunk.

Amart88 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 you proboboly could just ground it to a mounting bolt, honestly i couldnt tell you because i havent messed with them before Not sure. i know there is no designated ground post on it. I mean it's alot of work and wire to run 1-2 runs of 1/0 for ground to my batt in the trunk if I did not need to. I got 2 runs of power already and it BARELY fits. 2 door Cobalt (pontiac pursuit) Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amart88 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The alt grounds through the mounting bolt to the engine block.. So being a unibody car where the stock battery is in the trunk, would I benefit at all by running a run of 1/0 from a mounting bolt to the negitive battery terminal in trunk?

Technically considering where your battery is located, thats part of your big 3 that you failed to do it sounds like. Do you have a ground going from the engine block to the battery in the rear?

Do you have a ground going from the engine block to the battery in the rear? this. a ground from the alternator mounting bolt to the battery is/should be part of your big 3. no the alt should not have a ground stud on it.
