i just did my ground cable... share share

[c-ground]

this is what i did to my mum's car when i was still new:

The stock ground cables were replaced with 4awg. The rest are 8awg. I did the engine block, starter motor, firewall and alternator. All connected back to the battery using a special battery terminal clamp.

nowadays car has quite sufficient grounding already...
if the grounding is done on a older car the difference is very significant...
tried on a saga...using 8awg..onnect onto rocker cover...distributor...firewall and alternator...at night brighter headlamp...clearer music and car is more stable when turn on air cond

Not agree. ;)

Most of the car has only one 6awg cable connecting from the battery negative terminal to the chassis, then to the engine block. And another 8awg connecting the intake manifold to the firewall. That's all. Way far from being sufficient.

It's the electrical and electronic systems that are made to tolerate with the insufficiency. That means, these components need to work harder to overcome the insufficiency. Wouldn't it be better if they don't need to work so hard? There's where additional grounding comes in to the scene. ;)

BTW, c-ground fellas are also DIY supporters. Do it yourself if you can, or... hehe!!

at the mean time I ground for:-
- alternator
- firewall
- Throttle body
- right engine head
- car body near battery

 

[k3et]
