Big 3 ground question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have one question and I am including pics they are the same connection different angle motor side temperarly in 4 gauge and its the one I consider frame to block and wonder what you guys think of it. I have 1/0 awg that I am replacing my "little 3" with and this is the only connection I'm not sure of.

wait. i'm confused. which connection are you asking about? both? do they both go to the same place on the block?

edit: nevermind. you added a pic.

I dont see anything wrong with the connection you've got. but i'd probably make sure you solder those connections; it doesn't look like you did on the 4ga one's you've got.

sorry for responding late, at the time I did the big three all I had was alot of 4g laying around so I used it like this,

1. motor to frame (these pics) two separate 4g connections to same spot.

2. one 1/0g from negative post to other strut tower

3.one 4g run from alternator to positive on battery.

I just received my 28ft. of 1/0 black enough for my second battery neg to front battery neg. The rest is for the two negative's of big 3 and 7ft red 1/0 for alternator to positive of front battery. Next a mechman alternator woo hoo!!! :drink40:

As for soldering what kind of solder do I use or will crimping the hell out of the wire be enough?

You can go to a welding supply like National Welders and maybe they can do it.

I bought one on sale at Harbor Freight for around $50.
