i think you need a long wire connect from your battery -ve terminal to the car front body.... and from there you just ground all the other grounding wire to there.... just 2 cent.... haha :D

Now i have 1 ground wire "thick 1" connected from my alternator to car's body (not connected to the battery coz battery at the back), i feel big difference especially when i turn on the a/c, no more power lost n jerking. But after i installed my ICE back i feel power lost again whenever i turn on the a/c (but not as bad as b4 grounding). So guys i need your opinion, i wan to put on more ground wire to the car but is it necessary to connect it to the battery ? is it a must ?? by the way mine is old car, some ppl don't feel any difference after grounding b'coz the car is not old enough :lol: . so sifus plz help~!!! need advice~!!!

 

[shong]

you can ground to ur bodyearth(from battery -ve - rear boot) . then at the front, from ur bodyearth and link it to alternation, distributor .. and so on.

maybe? can try. i think no need a long wire from the boot to the front..

 

[Anticlockwise]

i think my battery -ve has already grounded to rear boot body, no wonder it works so well with only 1 ground wire at the alternator... gotta double check later... thanks shong ;)

anti, i got the same prob wif u also. seems that after groundin , the car felt heavier. and i got shocked twice today. (finish me grounding yesterday)
Points grounded:-
1) engine block
2) distributor
3) fire wall
4) car chasis(near battery )
5) connected to -ve battery

Yet to ground:-
1) alternator
2) gearbox
3)anymore place to ground??

what did i do wrong? I used the steel lug instead of copper? would this lug last? I mean since the engine compartment is so darn hot..!!!

pls help n advise...
