i just did my ground cable... share share

hi all sifu sifu....

yesterday i just install my ground cable....
first is that my car is old..
so originally.. if open lights.. the rpm will drop a bit..
but then.. after i install ground cable, also same.. :(
dono why like this..
maybe my cable not thick enough? ( i using like 16 gauge)

the point i use is ... 2 point at engine block..
and one point at firewall, another point at body near the headlamp.
maybe not enough point?

any sifu can help?


another thing wan to share is that
those 'Y' shape thing i use..
normally ppl need special clamp to clamp wire to it
since i not have the clamp
i got another way.

first i use plyer to open up a bit
then put the things in
then i use small happer to hammer kao kao the place
so the wire will be tight
then i balut with isolating tape.. so it looks nice. :D
hope this helps those DIY'er out there who not have the clamp.

oh...
i think my problem is that
1. cable too thin
2. not enough point..
:D

but my place no thick wire....
have to keep on searching

btw
i use plier to close the 'clamping place' shut tight first
only hammer slightly so it will stay nice.

btw.. what is 'heat sinking tube' thing..?
is it like i saw on other's project that black rubber thing?
where to buy one.. and how to put them there one?
that one looks better..

no lar...

DIY only have the fun in it...
thats the spirit mar.. :D
so i think i use 4x 16awg cable
can turn them into 4 awg... hehehehe

how to ground alternator?
find the alternator
see if any screw u can screw your ground cable to it ..
easy. ;)
