The big 3 is a good idea even with a stock alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 if you grounded your alt, theres no way that could make it worse. hell mine is, and i dont have a problem. i did 2 of the big 3 in my buddies s-10 with a stock alt, and its starts sooo much quicker now since it gets the current better. do it. its awesome.

ChevyBoy Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 ok 1. battery + to alt. 2. battery - to chassis/body/frame. 3. engine block to chassis/body/frame. if you want, to be protected more, put a fuse between your battery and alt wire.

What is the best place to ground a wire from the engine block, And Does it matter where u bolt your wires on the alternator.
