Recommended Posts

My friend has a 1999 Buick Century and wants to get a new battery and alt for it.. I was thinking XSPower adn Mechman.

But we are going to fo the big 3 soon and I just wanted some opinions on where to run some of the wire to and from. Gong to use all 0 guage wire. gonan run the (-) battery to strut bolt and (+) alt to battery positive but not sure what bolt from motor to run to frame. ill try and get more pictures later.

When I had my Explorer I used a random bolt near the bottom of the engine, it was just kind of sitting there looking at me saying "Pick me!", so I did. Just try to find anything on the actual block of the engine.
