Electrical grounding

Post by Bill Cleveland »

Other than grounding from negative Battery cable to frame, what ground straps/wires are you using in your T?

Spanky You can never have to many grounds. I go from the Batt to the frame after I use a post for all the wiring on the inside of the car. Then from the engine to the frame as close to the starter as I can. From the block on the other side to the frame also. In a fiberglass car the more grounds the merrier/happier it will be..........

Mike is right on!!!! On top of that, for the higher tech folks, any electronic computers (i.e. fuel injection) should ground directly to the battery.
For us low tech folks , that few ohms of resistance in the frame, block, etc. doesn't make a difference. However , on the electronics side, that drop of maybe .1 or .2 volts does make a difference. So, ground up!!!!
