InfiniteRuckus Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I've heard of people grounding to the alternator bracket versus going directly to the block. i was wondering if I could Ground to either one of these bolts on the bracket... it would save me a lot of time (& some money on wire) if i could use these so i figured i would ask.

EclipseChris Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 As far as i know its fine. Some motors ground out on the valve cover from factory. Just remember the more the merrier and when your doing big three its very hard to spend a lot, considering amps and stuff. Hope this helps. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator.

z71kris Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I had issues finding a suitable engine block ground and used one that bolts the bracket to the engine block...

baaudio Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 My alt grounds through the chassis. When I upgraded to 130 I cleaned the mounts on alt and engine. Should I run wire to frame also?

Yes, the frame is a very important item to ground well. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Decaf Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yes, the frame is a very important item to ground well. alts mounted to giant block of metal which is connected to frame same thing, no resistance difference between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
