Grounding?
« on: February 22, 2013, 10:24:13 AM »
Where are the best grounding locations for both the battery ground and the braided engine to frame ground?
Thanks

Thanks Ryan, I was thinking the samething but got questioning the engine plate to frame location because of the engine plate gasket being a possible insulator. Maybe the engine block itself is a better ground but where? And maybe I'm just over thinking this?

BMIC,

I have the two grounds that Ryan shows, + a ground attached to a flywheel bolt and over to my frame. It was on my Willys when I got it, so I left it.  This might address your concerns about the engine plate gasket.
